Thanks to whoever mrz5149@ritvax.isc.rit.edu is for an excellent post (but
gee, I really wish you folks would include you name). I too have been a little 
concerned about how some folks have been slamming Dave for his lack of support.
He's only human, people, and he had some _very_ serious family problems last
year with a child near death and thereafter loads of physical therapy, so cut
him some slack, OK?  Sure, you are entitled to support but don't forget there
are other places you can go for answers (such as the above).  I find it amazing
that a man of Dave's talent has stuck with Atari for this long so let's don't
rush him out the door, OK?  Besides talent, he has good taste too (Fosters!). :)

Cheers,
