As a computer consumer, and the proud owner of an Atari ST, I would like
to withhold my opinion as to whether or not Atari buying the Federated
chain was a good move. I would like to say that being in New York, finding
well stocked Atari stores are few and far between. There are a few stores
here and there that stock Atari computer hardware and several of the more
popular titles. Unfortunately there are only one or two stores in my area
that stock a relatively full line (I only know of two such stores and they
are at least an hour away by car). More and more of my purchases are having
to be done by mail order. The point behind my message is that Atari is
obviously going to stock the Federated store chains preferrentially with
their products. What will happen to the supply of Atari computer equipment
(both hardware and software) in other areas of the country?
