Try developing a program using your own sweat equity, spend a bunch of money on packaging and advertising and then come back and tell me piracy is a bullsh*t excuse. I did, got discouraged and came to work for Atari. The ST is a fun machine to use and program on and thus attracts users who have a high degree of technical/programming skill. It also attracted many former Color Computer users who are by far the worst pirates I've ever encountered, well, second only to ham radio computerists. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- char *soapbox="Boycott Exxon and boil 'em in their own oil!"; char *disclaimer="Views are my own, not my employer's"; Michael Nowicki Atari Corp.
