From what I understand, the new Atari has been carrying on the old
Commodore tradition of being relatively unfriendly to the press & 
software developers (note high price on the pre-release developement
kit....it required a major investment from people who didn't know
how tha merket was going to go).   BYTE gets information sent to it
more than it goes looking for it.....they get more than enough info
that way that they don't HAVE to go looking...they have more than they
can handle as it is (note the 3-4 month lag time).   If Atari sent
them a machine, they would review/preview it....if they (Atari) DON'T
send a machine for review, the review will have to wait until BYTE has
a bit of slack in the material available to it.....don't blame BYTE
for Atari's PR faults.

(P.S.:  I am a definate Atari fan, however I think Tramiel is making som
        misteaks about publicity here....I think he is deliberately 
        ignoring magazines, except for the ones that order the 
	developement kit themselves (Analog Computing did that).  He
        needs to go out & VOLUNTEER information, and he doesn't like
	doing that.
