Uh... guys? Did you hear him say what I just heard him say?
Did Alan just say that there's ONLY ONE PERSON WORKING ON THE WORST PROBLEM
THEIR MACHINE HAS?
Just how small an operation is Atari, anyway?
(Actually, my guess is EVERYONE else is working on the 40-folder bug on the
Transputer box...)

When the fix is made, maybe I'll buy an Atari.  I still have a certain 
amount of faith in Atari's ability to deliver a decent value, despite all
the griping I've seen on this group since the ST came out.

Hmm.  Does this suggest upcoming compatibility problems?
Or perhaps the advent of a new operating system altogether?
Could it be... MULTITASKING? Okay guys, warm up the rumor mills...
