We all know that companies like to reuse names - or what else is the similarity between a 1966 Shelby Mustang GT and a 2006 Mustang GT? After all, back then there wehre a lot of processors in even more different computers :) Maybe it was a special development for Atari, since they say it was the machine the couple did run PONG on. After all, it's businessweek, a magazin our econimic power people trust, so it must be true. H. -- VCF Europa 7.0 am 29/30.April und 01.Mai 2006 in Muenchen http://www.vcfe.org/
