I think stock quotes are a valuable tool for seeing how investors view
Atari.  Yes, those are the people who do not have an Atari oracle on
their desk and who look at the profitability of the company and the
competance of the management.  I wonder how long it will be before
NASDAQ unlists Atari all together (it is practically a penny stock) and
ATC is relegated to the likes of the Vancouver exchange...Imagine that....

I cannot help but be flattered.  If I convince one newby to dismiss
Atari computers as an electronic toy, I feel morally justified.  I
hate to see people go out and purchase one of these paperweights based
on completely biased and false propaganda from the cheerleaders on
the net and then realize that they'll have to give up their left nut
to find software for it.

Skoal,

Chris
