I wrote a letter to Leonard Tramiel.  The letter apparenly went to
/dev/null - I never got a reply (and I mentioned that I was a registered
developer). And now I find that there is a blacklist and I may be on it.
I hope that the Atari people on the net somehow manage to make the
Tramiels understand that blacklisting developers is not a good way 
of promoting a business. Its not a good tenet of war to make your
allies into enemies. (and Jack believes business is war?)
