People still buy ST's and MAC's, they are much the same technology
(exept that a low-end ST runs faster than a low-end MAC, and has better
graphics etc...). Today's prices for ST's are still cheaper than for
comparable MAC's (much cheaper if you take the street prices).

Do you think introducing a PC-pocket clone is playing. Many people
really want to buy one. Do you mean that Atari should only introduce
computers - not video games? I think it's nice that a company can bring
up many different kinds of devices. Do refer to the TT as nonstandard?
Is UNIX not a standard?!?! What about all the ST programs there are??

Haven't you heard of the Stacy and the ATW? They are not video games.

I certainly would not work for a company that has such a President! I
don't really like prejudiced people. And I know many companies don't
care how much their computers cost - they just follow the ad's and keep
up their "image". (I think it's much the same as buying expensive
clothes.) There are brighter companies, too...

And by the way, I don't think I'll work for a company at all. I don't
want to be ruled by stupid people. Perhaps I'll be a freelancer or a
free artist or something... (If I will not find a company useful and
interesting enough.)

I don't like that computers are being used to "make profit" etc.
(Well, I guess this was a bit too "politic" for this newsgroup....)
