There is an interesting article about Atari in the Jan 27th issue
of Electronic Engineering Times. The author was very positive
about Atari and the directon Jack Tramiel has been taking them.
Some of the points were:

	Atari is continuing to sell about 15,000 units a month

	Warner has written off $240 million in notes from Atari

	Atari's finances are almost at a break even lpoint

	Developers are selling more software than they expected to
	at this time. (DEGAS has sold more than 10,000 copies)

Also the article was positive about the two tier marketing aproach
for the ST line (520's in mass market, and 1024's in the computer
stores).( I still think that the mass market move was good, but
the JS&A approach is going to give the machines a bad name).
By the way, I purchased DEGAS last week and I am really happy
with it. Hopefully we will be seeing more good news about
Atari and the ST in the future.
