   Yet, he bought a game console company.  He thought he could change the   
   public perception of what the company was and they would beat a path to   
   the door of his new idea.  Then, when he realized he needed money, he   
   feebly offered some product to try and regain the legacy market he   
   pissed on the day he took over.   
      
   The guy was obviously a stooge for buying Atari in the first place.   
   Commodore was smart to dump his misguided ass.  Atari loyalists wished   
   they had someone over Jack to reign him in and keep the company focused   
   on customer base.   
      
   And now, some 20 years later, there are Commie lovers who can't   
   understand why Aturkey fanatics don't see things their way.  And despite   
   our numerous explanations, several of these guys still can't understand.
