From the May 13, 1985 issue of Electronic Engineering Times:

To critics who maintain that there is no "true" home-computer
market, Tramiel responded that "maybe there is none, but still,
it's undeniable that personal computers are going into the home."

Tramiel's strategy to penetrate the home appears to be based on 
positioning his machines as high-quality or futuristic educational
tools. He Claims that the same sort of educational investments
that parents make in getting violin lessons, or specialized
education for their children, apply to personal computers as well.
...

Tramiel said the company would demonstrate a $499 CD-ROM optical
disk drive for the system next month, using some components supplied
by N.V. Philips of the Netherlands. Atari will manufacture the drive 
with shipments in August. "We will help the industry deliver a complete 
CD-ROM encyclopedia that takes up a fraction of the size of the equivalent
number of books," said Tramiel.  "We will off the dictionaries of the 
world, in all major languages."
