With all of the good news about the renewed dealer support, I am sad to
pass on news about a real JERK of a dealer. This fellow lost his dealership
with Atari about three weeks ago, and has therefore been trying to cut his
losses by advertising what he has to sell. In the bottom part of his
advertisement in a local newspaper supplement, this appears:
Personal Computers recommends Amstrad or Amiga.
We want to help you move-up. Trade-ins are now accepted.
Bring us your outdated, unused, unsupported computers for cash-off...
We'll accept such makes as:
Timex Sinclair
TI 99/4s Vic 20
Atari Atari ST
Commodore 64/128

I think that this is very insulting. For anyone interested, this dealer
is:
