We want Atari to hear our needs and questions. We want the good will of the employees who monitor the net. We profit from the accessability the net provides. Why are we bashing Atari like little kids? Ken, Allan Pratt and others have taken the time to reply to my questions and requests many times. They have listened when bugs were reported. They have produced some great improvments in very little time. Ken, Allan and the rest: My thanks for supporting the community for free. My thanks for getting TOS 1.4 out of the door. My thanks for the "rainbow utilities" (FREE). As a programmer I can sympathize with your situation. It's unreasonable to expect more from a small staff. Please get the powers that be to get some more KNOWLEDGABLE bodies in there to help. There seem to be a lot of "experts" out there in netland who should be willing to each tackle 1 bug/enhancment each :-) Thers's quite a few programmers too! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Suthers, Analyst, Pacific Bell uucp: {backbone}!pacbell!pbeos!dbsuther ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Youth's a difficult time, and it gets harder the longer you try to draw it out. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
