Hello,
I just picked up an email (see fr.comp.sys.atari) concerning the new Atari computer:
"I am sure these news may be very surprising for you, but they are
definitely true:
Even though everything seems buried, the Atari-community has a great
chance of getting a new, up-to-date super-computer within only a few
months!!! A computer company standing very close to the TOS-market is
extremely interested in releasing a new machine that can bring us
Atarians back to present computing life - not only in terms of speed.
This company has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Milan/Axro but wants to
remain anonymous for the moment. All announcements concerning this
machine will be coming from my side.
BUT: The release of this machine depends on the support of the
users/developpers and will NOT take place unless it is clear that AT
LEAST 500 units are going to be sold.
I have prepared a poll to be carried out via e-mail for the
German-speaking users. This poll is going to start on a new, special
website within the next few weeks.
As response is not only expected from European countries but from all
over the world, I would ask you if you are interested in also carrying
out this specific poll among the French readers/users and deliver the
results/answers to my address after a period of about 3 weeks.
If you should not be in a position to conduct such a poll via e-mail,
maybe you know someone else who is.
This may sound somewhat mysterious for the moment, but it could be the
last chance to save the dying Atari-world. As I have information
directly from the up-and-coming manufacturer, I believe in the success
of this project - especially now that Milan have cancelled their
computer.
I would be very pleased to hear from you soon.
Best wishes, U.d.C. from Germany"
Well, what about that !
Cheers
Dan
