Didn't really forget, just thought that everyone knew that Atari was lousy at engineering :^) [ really :^( ] ! I mean, how does it happen that they can *never* seem to get past the FCC? What gives? And Steve-o, (a former Atari employee, I believe (he stole parts form Atari, and the Woz nabbed stuff from HP to make the first Apple I)) is a start-up. Why can't Atari get some capital together, start form scratch, learn from their blunders (and, more importantly, from other successes) and get it right this time? > Excerpts from netnews.comp.sys.atari.st: 11-Mar-91 Re: HEY, YOU!!!!!!! > Gregory Carter@cat27.cs.

And don't forget, Greg, it would be 5 inches by 7 inches, weigh 2.75 pounds, have a 2400 Bd fax modem, a 1.44 meg drive, and support a real graphics mode! Well. I guess then it would have to cost $350!
