  Lucky you. Some of us are STILL waiting to see Atari on teevee. How about
the Canadian Atarians who got the Atari advertisements in TIME Magazine?

  Well, as Sig Hartmann said at the Anaheim World of Atari show, Atari Corp.
wants to keep Atari advertising localized. So if the Ohio-region Atari sales
are doing very good, they might run more ads to get more customers.
Unfortunately, this means there will be no coordinated, nationwide Atari
advertising in the ear future.

  Does thie mean Atari is not going to push in the U.S.? I doubt it, since
they are planning to release the PC Portfolio and the STacy here first (with,
according to Sig, "_massive_ advertising"). I'd like to see commercials, sure,
but actions speak louder than hype, and I'd rather see Atari actually SELLING
more equipment than count ad spots.
