    Do you want to back up your claim that they had a corrupt CEO, of whom I assume you mean Jack Trameil?

    He was just so corrupt that Warner hired him on to "save" their failing Atari acquisition?

    Maybe you just say he's corrupt because he was a Jewish holocaust survivor, and you're an anti-semite?

    Remember when the dollar to euro exchange ratio was reversed? Go Dubya!

    Any Americans reading this: please wake up and smell the coffee - get your government to do something about the instability and plummeting value of the US dollar. It's affecting everyone else too, you know..

    Still, Tramiel is a dirty hook-nosed kike.
