Early last year Atari announced a new attitude and commitment towards
developer support.  They backed that up with a nicely formatted bi-
monthly newsletter, starting in March of 1988.  Dave Beckemeyer ex-
pressed some skepticism over this claim, stating that he'd heard it
all before.  His comments were basically dismissed as sour grapes.

That lasted 3 issues.  The newsletter went quarterly for the Sep-Oct-
Nov-Dec 1988 issue.  When I received my Developer's Kit (after a four
month delay), I called to see if I was missing any newsletters.  I was
told that one would be appearing "real soon now".  That was 3-4 weeks
ago.  It's now the end of May 1989, which by my calculations is 5 months.
(i.e., the last newsletter was the Sep-Dec '88 issue.)

I'll let the reader draw his/her own conclusions.
