In response to the comments that Atari "is run by a bunch od
amateurs", I'll say this.

Now, if it weren't for the Tramiels, there wouldn't be an Atari.
You can't blame the Tramiels for the past ills of Atari, they were
inherited from the Warner days.

True, in the USA, the ST is not exactly the best thing since double
density. But concentrating the business and advertising in the
European market has made the ST *the* personal computer, with Apple
and IBM with a smaller market share. Now with the European market
and now the professional music market established, they can work on
the American market, but I think it is too late for the 68000 based
machines. (The 68020 ST Plus and the 68030 TT should be the
machines to push)

As far as support goes, with limited funds, it can't be the best,
**BUT**   what other company will send you a *NEW* machine, if you
send them your broken system, and a check for a replacement. Apple?
(How hard should we laugh?) Commodore Amiga? even I B M?

This subject about support has been beaten to death in Sacramento,
with this simple question: What do you want? Now, every time I have
asked what kind of support you want from Atari has not been
answered. I hear the bitching and moaning, but no suggestions.

Now, if you have some legitimate gripes, why not *tell* Atari? They
can't read your minds, you know. Everyone will moan, but they won't
say anything to Atari, so how do you expect them to respond?

Me, I've bought almost all their computers, an 800, 800XL, 1040ST
and a Mega 4. I've liked their products, and will continue to buy
them. (Even got one of their calculators)

Now, what I'd like to see is some suggestions on what you want from
Atari. No more crying or whining.
