Er, um, say folks, but has it occurred to anybody that all of
the great announcements from Atari are a smokescreen to cover
up their financial troubles?
ANYBODY can announce anything they dang please. I think I'll
announce a system based on a VAX 11/780, with 2048X2048 pixels
in 16 million colors, voice response and speech synthesis,
priced at $49.95, to be available later this year. Wow!
What a deal!
The indications are that Atari will be in bankruptcy court very
soon. Whether they avoid it or not, a reasonable observer would
have to ask "Where are they going to get the money to design
these great and wonderful machines, when they can't pay the
bills they've already got?"
Talk is cheap. It's all that Atari can afford right now.
