This is America Jack! Your not the only person who Atari has tried to keep quiet. About 2 years ago Neil Harris told the sysops on one of the commercial networks that if I didn't stop "harassing" him online he would quit showing up. They wouldn't have a "official represenative of Atari" online anymore. I was sent a copy of his email along with a note saying I could do what I wanted. I continued to comment on his postings so he left for a two months or so. About the time he returned I started ignoring all postings from all Atari represenatives on the networks. None of what they were saying was worth the time it took to read it. How much vaporware can you be expected to put up with? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dan Moore AT&T Denver ihnp4!druhi!dlm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
