With the massive enthusiasm over the Peanut they may feel nobody would notice the 1400 & 1450. But if they offer a 3-way compatible system for less then the Peanut then they may have something to compete with. Now, since Atari can't seem to manufacture 2 products at the sametime it's only natural that they would have to stop production on the 1400 series. Gee, and I was going to buy Atari stock, maybe it isn't to late to buy 'Puts' after all.
