If Atari succeeds in failing a second time by alienating its customers
through nastiness, vaporware, and user-hostile sales practices, we
should start a fund to raise a monument to those paragons of Capitalism :
                        Tramiel, Inc.

Who insisted that the Commodore 64 be compatible with the VIC-20?
     
Who disgusted their chip designers into leaving enmasse? (And later formed
Ensoniq, a VERY profitable company...)

Who got booted from Commodore?

.......From the cybernetic universe of Tuesday 7676......
............Whoosh!                   Clunk!.............
