FREE?????  I think not Mr. Covert.  Why do you think that Apple 
computers with similar options to Atari computers cost about
twice as much?  One reason is because Apple is committed to
providing information about those computers.  Of course they
have to pay someone to do that, so they just charge more
up front to cover the cost later.  The information you're
getting is not free, but only appears to be free.  Why do 
you own Atari equipment?  Probably because you were able to
pay less for it up front.  Now you are finding out what you
gave up.  For a lot of people this alternative makes sense.  I
know it does for me.  If you would consistently use a calm,
gentle tone when asking questions, instead of the impatient,
whinning tone that you have demonstrated time and time again,
you would probably get more answers.  For free, even...
