I agree.  I DO own an Atari and IT did do most of the things I wanted
it to do.  I DID DO a lot of shopping before I bought it 2.5 years ago.

But the promised additions to it and the sometimes BETTER THAN THOU
SOAP BOX STYLE of the people at Atari and those who represent them on
this net has ended this evangelist's support.

I've owned Atari for 6 years and I doubt that I'll ever buy another one
and will influence my associates to not buy one either!

I'm tired of being the VERY LAST ONE, yes the VERY LAST ONE as a consumer
to whom atari lends an ear and tries to satify.

They are interested in if I'm satified only and only if it affects their
bottom line to any major amount.  And if it doesn't affect their bottom
line they couldn't care less.

SCH

An X-evangelist and letting everyone know about it X-customer!
