Forgive me for asking about something that must be old stuff to most of you, but I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me what became of the Atari Abaq (or ATW?) - by e-mail, unless it would be of general interest. I had been hearing about the Abaq for some years, then a year or two ago I read that the release of the ATW was imminent, and then it was never mentioned in the generalist magazines again... (or I just got busy). I gather that it was never actually released, but after hearing so much hype I can't help wondering why. Thanks in advance from a new user of the net.

Bob Brodie reported at the Atari Safari in Houston that the ATW has long since left the public eye and is aimed at big research groups. Although he would not name which companies are using it, he did assure us that that the ATW is real and is in use, just not on the public forem.
