It is his loss, and someone else's gain.
 
My point is that the decision to dump made by other people will have no
effect on me.  I don't care how big a name the person has.  I don't
stick my finger up to see which way the wind is blowing before deciding
what computers to buy.  My Atari works well for me.  I had a blast
playing a game with a Copyright of 1981 last night.  My Atari will stay
put no matter what any other so-called "leaders" in the Atari world do.
