This is the right way to get just about any answers. There have been a number of
times that questions I had about the ST were easily answered just by being
persistent about calling Atari and getting shuffled around. A reasonably
intelligent exec would rarely just blow off questions if they are intelligent
and (obviously) if the answers are not embarrassing or supposed to be kept
secret. And in fact, Atari has never been secretive, just not overly enthusiatic
about getting details out. If more people would just ask Atari there would be
more info in the group and fewer questions... If we all pitch in maybe we
could get Atari on the net. Is there anyone who has any ideas about this?
