Can anyone out there (Neil?) tell me anything about the status of the
Activenture CD-ROM encyclopedia that Atari demo'd last year?  Is there
any possibility of Atari actually producing it for sale any time in
the forseeable future?  I had heard that J.T. couldn't get a supplier
to sell the players to him at a price that would allow him to sell it
at the price he wanted.  Is that likely to change any time soon?
   I sure would love to get my hands on one of those-- and it would
send Atari's sales through the roof, too.
