Rodney let me ask why you are so sure the TR has old info...  We have been
using them for well over 15 years at work and have never felt the info was
out dated... It is infact updated every 6months on CD, and if needed we can
call get an info update on phone in about 30mins..  
Do not get me wrong there is no way I can verify that the info is new or old,
other then their statement as to the fact that the info is accurate as of Nov
95.. They have been in bussness for a long time. And I have never seen any
question their accracy till now... I have to wonder is this only because what
I posted was the return on Atari...
Even with that, the only thing that might be of question is the number of
emplyees... They stated 50mill+ cash on hand, that has been post in alot of
places, so this goes hand in hand.. Total assest, well with the building and
property they own, I would say this is atleast half of it by far, then we
have to to include the assets such as royalties, furnishing, R&D
stuff,equipment. ect, ect.. To me this seems entirely possible.. Now we come
down to the 1700+ employees.. Now here I have no idea, but I would have to
guess it to be very possible... I know for a fact a few months ago I was told
by and Atari employee they had over 1100 that he knew of..
What is it that makes you feel the data is so far out of date, or wrong??
