Tonight's guest on Wall Street Week (PBS financial news show, hosted by
Louis Rukeyser) was Lee Isgur. He mentioned that Atari had announced a pocket
computer, that it would be available in time for Christmas, and that he had
one in his pocket as he was talking. This man is an influential enough
financial analyst that one can understand Atari buttering him up with early
samples. It's encouraging to hear that there are enough machines for ANY of
them to leave home. Isgur also referred to the hand-held game machine. And
no, he didn't say what he thought of Atari or show any goodies. It was just
something he said in passing.
