I also believe that ATARI will be around for a while longer. Despite
a great many problems, the most recent of which was the layoff of over
200 people, ATARI has a fine product line at very competitive prices.
The XL line seems to be a solid line built upon the very successful
foundation on which the 400 and 800 were based. Although a number of
the designers of the 400/800 line are no longer with ATARI the company
still has the potential to get their stuff together and produce quality
consumer electronic products. I support ATARI as I have done for the
past few years. I'm only sorry that 3 years ago people just were NOT
well enough educated to have seen how advanced a computer system ATARI had
produced. I'm amazed the world bit the apple for so long without recog-
nizing the power and sophistication of the 400/800. That was a long
time ago. Looking back with a smile,
