All I know about this is the brochure Atari sent me, which duplicates the
information in the Byte magazine article, and the above information.
Obviously, I'm not responsible if you order the computer and it takes a long
time to show up, or anything like that. The cover letter says Portfolios are in
release in Europe now, as was reported here a while ago. American units are in
production. It says they will ship in September.

Better make sure you 'Attn:' the proper one. That PO Box number is the general mail box for the entire company. Most everything marked 'Atari' flows through there and there is a chance your order will be slowed even more than it should while it works its way from one dept to another looking for a home. Dan
