Just  heard  on the  news  that  Atari  is  closing  up all US
operations  (or at least the  division  making video games and
home  computers)  and moving to "the Orient" (== Japan?)!!! It
seems 600  employees  have been laid off, with the rest of its
1700  employees  to follow.  Wow! This  could be cause for BIG
problems,  depending on the full story. Does anyone know more?
Is it due to economic issues? What happens to SERVICE? PRICES?
Please someone fill us in.
