Surprise, Marinos..!!

I own 2 1/2 PCs already, and I still use my 520 ST more than all of them
put together!  (Guess you don't read so good, eh..?  There are remedial
classes available to help with that...)
 
My point is that if Atari Corp would finally do something (after YEARS of
doing virtually NOTHING), we'd all have plenty to talk about without
having to resort to flame wars just to have something to fill the void.
 
Read a few PC or Mac newsgroups to see how HAPPY computer owners discuss
everything from games to desktop publishing, to programming, to graphics,
and all with very little reference to "Real Soon Now", or "Someday when
XXXX is released"...
 
Wouldn't it be great if the Atari newsgroups had more games to talk about
than you could take time to read..?  Enough that we'd have to create a
new newsgroup just to handle them..?    Or if there were enough people
programming the Atari on a professional or semi-professional level that
we needed several new newsgroups just to handle the traffic..?
 
Like I said.. we don't need a new newsgroup to handle all the Atari flames..
what we need is for Atari Corp to DO SOMETHING...
