Aric Friesen posted an article bemoaning Antic's recent publication of a
summary of Lee Isgur's recent stock analysis opinion of Atari Corp., filled
with the kind of crystal ball announcements we used to get direct from Atari
spokespeople.  For what it's worth, a lot of magazines fill space by quoting
securities analysts, Lee Isgur is highly regarded among both producers and 
consumers of stock analysis, and possibility is the analyst's stock in trade.
It was the analysts who made the Wankel engine exciting a few years ago.  As
regular as Atari's possible products used to be, drug companies hint at possible
e 
future drugs more regularly, with similar follow-through, and the analysts
report it, and value vapor at so many cents on the dollar.
    It's hard not to repeat Phillipe Kahn's comments: the ANALists (pronounced
with a long a) PENILEize the computer industry.  And his complaint that he
saw nothing wrong with Lotus releasing their new version of 123 later than
originally planned, but it bothered him that they seemed to be advertising
lateness as a *feature*, and that the analysts believed it.
