  Not to be interpreted as a flame or anything, but...

  About two years ago, everybody in the Atari world would flame Atari Corp.
for announcing stuff that never gets released. "Keep your mouth shut until
you deliver!", they'd cry. "You lose respectability that way!"

  Atari (finally  B-) wises up, takes the advice, and now we get messages like
the above. What did the wise man say about pleasing all of the people all of
the time?

  (I'm not an Atari cheerleader/zombie, but I think this is ridiculous!)

P.S. Personally, I prefer the new policy.
