I did see the Computer Chronicles about the Comdex show about three weeks
ago and thought they did a good job of covering Atari.  They talked about
the Abaq, the CD-ROM and the Laser Printer as well as some of the desk
top publishing packages as I recall.  Move coverage of Atari than I have
seen in a long time.

On an unrelated issue, Neil, what did you guys do to tick off Activision?
They are not only dropping coverage for us 8bit users (not unexpected :-( )
but also for the ST.  Infocom (an Activision subsidiary now) is not going
to write any more games for Atari period.  What gives?  How hard can it
be to port their text adventures for the Atari machines?  After all, it
is mostly just formating text for the screen (except Beyond Zork, which
is supposed to have some nice ST graphics support).  I have bought several
of their games for the 8bit and so have many other users in our User Group.
Are we the only ones?  Can sales really be that bad?  I find it that hard
to believe.
