On the Japanese

Now, the Japanese are a traditional people and have a lot of ritual in their business affairs.

Atari's owner and president visits the office in Milpitas.


Hail to the Chief

(1 / 1)


NAKAMURA, OUR FEARLESS LEADER AND OWNER OF THE COMPANY THAT MOSTLY
OWNS ATARI WILL BE HERE MONDAY AND TUESDAY 3/10-3/11. THERE ARE
NO FIRM PLANS, BUT PLEASE PLAN ON TOURS ETC.
 
Now, the Japanese are a traditional people and have a lot of 
ritual in their business affairs. Therefore, it would be courteous
for us to tone down our western ways where appropriate.

	1) Let's tidy up our labs and offices - if Rofo can do it, anybody
	   can.
	2) On Monday and Tuesday let's make an effort to dress conservatively
	   in spite of the fanstatic weather we have been having.
	3) Let's leave gym clothes in the locker room.

Maybe I'm overreacting, but I'm proud of the Atari Engineering group and its 
product, and I want Nakamura be proud too...I don't want him to be distracted 
by the cultural differences and miss the product.
