Allan, your a reasonable guy, where did you get this reply? You make it
sound like Atari Corp is not interested in doing anything to make
its customer's lives any easier. Why not ? You might consider suggesting
to your management that it is a "feature" in the opinion of your potential
customers that they can upgrade the memory of their machine. This "feature"
costs about 0.28US$ and yields quantifiable customer satisfaction.

I think this is a symptom of a bigger problem. However, a thousand mile
journey begins with but one step.
