They must not have interviewed Jack Tramiel, is all I have to say about THAT.
To see what I'm talking about, look in the "Nanobytes" section of the latest
Byte, for what Jack has to say (he accuses the semiconductor industry of
collusion and false shortages, amongst other things).

Is it true that Jack (oops, Atari Corp.) is suing Micron about a RAM contract
they tried to slip out of?  Just a random rumor I picked up somewhere...
