       Ah, I was wondering what it was that eventually took things down.  I think   
   I recall when the Falcon came out; wasn't it around when the 386sx was taking   
   off?  That's a damn shame, though.  I was a really devout fan of Atari.  Still   
   am, I guess, to be looking into this hardware & software in this day & age.  :)   
       I'm going to be taking a look into your resources.  Thank you muchly.
