I was watching a PBS show on TV the other night, something called The
Computer Chronicles.  They were talking about manufacturing in Taiwan, which
was pretty interesting, but then the phone rang.  I started recording the
show on the VCR and answered the phone.  When I finished on the phone and
went back to watch the parts of the show I missed, I was pleasantly
surprised.  They were talking about Atari!  All of a sudden, this voice
starts speaking, the picture flashes on the screen, and lo and behold, Neil
Harris is really a normal looking person, not some forked-tongue demon who
delights in feeding Atari users vicious rumors.  Course then the tape ran
out after Neil had said only a few words :-).

I just thought the net would like to know that Neil actually was a real
person, since sometimes he isn't treated as one.

Thanks a lot for the help with finding me a dealer in my area, Neil!!!
