Hi
I'm sorry to here that you were ripped off in this way. Others have bluntly and probably unnecessarrily pointed out, you were too trusting of the Barry you describe. I am glad that you've publicised your story, partly because it shows that you still have some belief in your fellow atari users & maybe a little in that other kind of "user" Barry (if he can be shamed by this he must have a hint of decency in him). Maybe others can learn from your experience and I certainly appreciate being warned about ripoff artists.
I hope you have better experiences in the future.
Good luck
BJ
