This may be a while because when I visited toys r us in early january and just recently there were still a lot of stickers for the 800XL's. It looks like sales have sort of dropped off somewhat. It is not only atari that is down but the c64 as well. The 16 bit computers are not supposed to ship until April at least. One thing I noticed is that the amount of software displayed for the c64 was about 5 times greater than that for the atari. The disturbing thing about this was that a lot of the titles for the c64 were originally written for the atari. Even though I am a c64 owner, I sort of wonder whether toys r us is pushing commodore stuff intentionally. -- ARPA: eneevax!ravi@maryland UUCP: [seismo,allegra]!umcp-cs!eneevax!ravi
