It never ceases to amaze me what kind of image Atari computers seem to have in the USA as opposed to here in Europe. As an example, there were several articles today in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung about personal computers (For non-German readers: The FAZ is about as serious and buisiness - oriented as newspapers in Germany ever get, which is quite a lot). One of these articles was about non - MS-DOS computers, i.e. the Amiga and the Atari. The conclusion was that the Amiga has an edge in games, the Atari in serious applications. I know several buisinesses which run, for example, databases on their Ataris, because the software available is powerful and easy to use. Strange, all in all...

Indeed. A recent article in FORBES compared Commodore to Atari and characterized Commodore as a struggling non-MS DOS company while Atari was a "computer game" company. And that the Amiga was second only to MS-DOS machines in Europe........ -- Roger Tang, Member Uncle Bonsai Memorial Fan Club American Flag Disposal Unit #3245, Chonk Moonhunters chapter gwangung@blake.acs.washington.edu
