Michael Vederman (uace0@uhnix2.UUCP) asks: > Okay, how can you change Atari's image? Does it matter?

The rationale goes as follows: If the advertising is effective, more ST's will be sold, and the installed base will get bigger. This will attract more third party software vendors, who will write more software for the system, which means a better and wider availability of software for those who already owned the machine when the advertising began. Clear? -- Steven C. Den Beste, Bolt Beranek & Newman, Cambridge MA denbeste@bbn.com(ARPA/CSNET/UUCP) harvard!bbn.com!denbeste(UUCP) I don't think BBN cares what I think about this stuff. And that's probably just as well.
