I also do not want to start a flame war, but let me put in my two cents
(since everyone else seems to have already put theirs in!!!):

I think Atari should make sure all the Falcon's coming off the assembly line
work 100% (which is why there is a delay, I have been told!) so they won't
end up with the problem that seems to be occuring with the A1200.

I think it is better to release a _rock solid_ product late, than to release
a faulty product early;  Then the public will know your products work
but only expect them to be shipped later than announced.
 (i.e. which is the lesser of the two evils...)
