Your dealer has nothing to do with the lies Atari tell you.. if they
don't ship him the products they have promised you, he can't sell them
to you...
 
Sam Tramiel, President of Atari Corp promised, on a TV show called something
like "the Computer Show" that all STs would have a blitter upgrade made
available...    something like a year later, Atari finally admitted the lie,
and made the excuse that the FCC wouldn't let them do it...
 
You've simply been the victim of believing the Atari lie... how many times
will they sucker you in..?
