	We have no choice.  We cannot keep the games out of the cafeteria,
else we would be in violation of the ERA (Electronic Right Appendix).
After all, Atari is an "Equal Opportunity Employer".

	On the other hand, maybe we could counter with a discrimination
suit of our own!  The games already have more "voice" than we do!  Who is
this CYBER guy, anyways?  He's not even completed yet, and he's leading
a rally for the popular vote!

	All seriousness aside, every time in the past 5 years that we had
games in the cafeteria has made the site too noisy, hot, and crowded.  This
is the nicest cafeteria we have had while I've been here, and it seems a
shame to regress to the crowded, noisy conditions of the past.  As it is
now, the cafeteria also makes a nice lounge during off hours.

	I think another area could be found;  the engineering common area
seems a natural choice, or maybe we could put them in some of the wider
hallways (the central corridor could use some relief from the monotony).
But I would rather see the games temporarily retired than put in the cafeteria.
It also seems apparent that we need a bigger, or another, game room...

	Send hate mail to this address.
