But for us (non-Atari employees) it is the other way around.
I have been collecting and printing out useful articles for about 2 years
now and regularly use a big folder of these instead of books as a source
of ST information.

With all the changes/enhancements you made to TOS 1.4 you obviously listen
to what we say on issues like auto booting GEM programs etc.

When we see 'Atari Corporation' in the news header we know that what follows
will be the official line and not rumours and hearsay.
