PLEASE DO NOT USE NEWS TO REPORT BUGS IN UNRELEASED ATARI PRODUCTS. PLEASE DO NOT USE NEWS TO REPORT BUGS IN UNRELEASED ATARI PRODUCTS. PLEASE DO NOT USE NEWS TO REPORT BUGS IN UNRELEASED ATARI PRODUCTS. PLEASE DO NOT USE NEWS TO REPORT BUGS IN UNRELEASED ATARI PRODUCTS. Am I making myself clear? If you have a comment to make about Beta ROMs or any other unreleased Atari product, use the appropriate communication channels: in this case, send us an SPR. If you don't know how to do that (for example, because you copied the ROMs without copying the instructions for reporting about them) you can mail us a letter. We probably won't even prosecute you or the official beta tester who let you copy the ROMs, because we want the feedback. This is not a legal opinion, but it would be my recommendation. But you do not get any goodwill by flaming us in public about UNRELEASED products. Please cut it out. I post this in public because the offense was committed in public. I am also sending mail, because that is far less likely to be overlooked by the intended recipient. ============================================ Opinions expressed above do not necessarily -- Allan Pratt, Atari Corp. reflect those of Atari Corp. or anyone else. ...ames!atari!apratt
