Its amazing that a company with such good employees or should I say dedicated
employees can be run by such idiots.. I've worked with John a few times, and
I remember Working hand in hand with Neil Hariss..I was a consultant for Ataris
advertising agency in NY(Messner Vetere Berger and Carey) we produced 4 ATARI
commercials that were all very good...BUt dur
due to upper managements lack of who knows what..they werent aired..it was
amazing..Atari wouldn't give us the equipment to film the commercial! Neil
hadto send me his harddrive so I could use it in the commercial!! And talk
about Cheap?!!!The budget was non existant..Instead of having an Atari rep
work with the add agency (and yes they had a NY sales rep at the time by now
he's probably long gone) they hired me.I was 16 and a users group president..
I was asked questions like:Why is the ST better then the mac..
why cant it do this..can it do this..can you make it do this..etc..
it was probably the worst experience in my life!!Even before I did
the commercials I did some work for atari at 47th st photo in NY where
atari did a major press release for the 1040's...Was I paid for that?No..
of course not..Dont get me wrong I love the ST but the management of the
company is horrible...Probably the best thing atari could do is rename
the company and try to sell its computers under a different name! Due to lack
of sufficient support I'm in the market for an OS2 machine..and IBMS student
discounts place a model 55sx at about 1600 for everything I could dream of..
why should I stick with atari????Give me one reason??
Jeremty
whoops..Jeremy Berger
a really PISSSED Atari owner...
P.S. However after programming a Mac..Why would anyone want a MAC???
