   What part of "Who gives a f***?" did you not understand.   
      
   You don't own the company. It is not your money. You bought wand enjoy what   
   you payed for. Customers don't own the companies and NEVER has there been a   
   CEO having to say "sorry" to his customers. Customers don't own the company   
   and it isn't there money. Ok, except the customers who holds stock in the   
   company. Those are the people who has anything to complain. If you are not a   
   stockholder OR even an employee, SHUT the F*** UP and leave these guys   
   alone. Only companies who has to answer to customers are utility companies   
   because they have/own the jurisdiction. You see, Enron has to answer because   
   their Pacific Power is the power company holding complete control of power   
   in given areas and power being shut off effects customers financially.   
   Think, homes with refridgerators. They don't have an option to another power   
   company.   
      
   We are just talking about computers. A mere merchandise. This is the   
   difference. The company goes... oh well. You buy another computer or   
   continue using it with the support that is around the product. They made a   
   mistake and guess who lost money in Atari, Jack Tramiel. Remember, he had   
   stock in the company and it went in the hole. So what. Cliche is bullshit.   
   The man on top doesn't always know about every little detail of what happens   
   in one office.   
      
   Have you ever seen CEO simply tell you to take your complaint to a specific   
   office. Guess what, that happens more than you think.   
      
   We don't care. We don't care about the "I'm sorry" atonement. If I was to go   
   to the show, I want to hear about the history of Commodore and Atari from   
   his perspective. I want to hear about his memories of things. Not people   
   complaining to him about why he didn't get Atari to be dominate in the   
   Console market or complaints about his hard-nose leadership and demanding of   
   atonement.   
      
   Life and the world moved on. It wasn't the end of the world.
