You're right.  And I'm glad I'm getting tiresome.  I'm not gonna stop
becuase of it either.   Do you you think I'm going to let those %&^%#^
screw me, my wife, some of my friends, and even some people I don't like
very much and let them get away with it!?  No way.  I think too many people
are letting them get away with it.   JT is still finding suckers!  I want
to help stop it.  You only live once ...  Now I see the light...

All I will say is that I still argue that the ATARI ISN'T CHEAPER.  And
with the big names (e.g. Sun, AT&T, IBM, DEC, and little Apple) reducing their
prices all the time, I'll make book on the fact that the Atari will never
be cheaper.  Certainly not in the long run, when you have to throw out
your Atari dinosaur and buy a "real" computer.

While a tall platform and a short rope sounds attractive at times, I've
never advocated the practice in any place where Mr T. personnel could
have possibly placed a sophisticated shivji masterpiece listening device.
