Not a Rumor In hopes of locating an Atari dealer here in the LA area, so that I could get on a waiting list (or something) I contacted Atari's West Coast distributer, Blatt inc. I was told that although they have had many inquiries from dealers, they have not taken orders. This is because they do not yet have the official price and availability information from Atari. They expect to have this information and start taking orders after the CES show is over. It seems that although Atari is not going to be exhibiting at the show itself, they will be there meeting with distributers.
