----- Addressed to everyone on the net to see if they've heard this one too; but mostly addressed to the folks at Atari...I'd like to have this either confirmed or denied please. I've heard the following rumour on several BBS' the past week or two, and today had someone who usually only passes along rumours which he has the inside scoop on tell me about it again. The rumour is that Atari has officially dropped the 8-bit line of computers. All production and support for the XE line has been cancelled... computers and peripherals both. The only 8-bit product not completely dropped is the XEGS, and that is being sold to Atari Games. So what's the deal? Has everyone here in NJ lost their minds, or is this (SAY IT ISN'T SO) unfortunately true? -Ray wilmott@topaz.rutgers.edu
