     Well, you must remember most of those rumors ARE NOT OFFICIAL ANNOUNCMENTS
 BY ATARI.  They are, in fact, rumors leaked from lower company positions etc.
 Atari has in no way confirmed these rumors, but Atari has said that they are
 working on a new project.  I got some REAL info that it may be a multimedia
 device ala CDTV, CD-I etc.  EGM got that VCR part mixed up because the Jaguar
 (if it is released) will LOOK like a VCR, with VCRish controls on it.  
     But, Atari does have a rather poor track record.  The 7800, 5200, their
 8 bit and 16 bit computers were all flops...in the U.S. atleast.  The ST
 is still VERY popular in Europe...although P.C. Clones are taking over 
 Europe.  Anyway, the 2600 and Lynx are their two most popular items to date,
 I belive...
     You say that Atari is a disgrace to NORTH AMERICA?  Ohya, I mean, up there
 in Canada you just have all those major video game companies eh?  Canada is
 just the home of tons of video game companies, eh?  What a hoser! :)
