I've really enjoyed the Atari experience. I hope those staying can pull the company out of this deep hole.
A slew of goodbyes from layoffs in 1984.

I hope we can keep up the many valuable friendships. As before, anyone who sends me their info gets a copy of the whole list. Please use the following form: Mike Albaugh xxxxxxxxxxxx (xxx) xxx-xxxx Thank you, Mike. p.s. The list will also be available on Jeff Bell's B.B.S. (xxx) xxx-xxxx.

It has been good working with all of you. I mean it sincerely when I say that I have always considered Coin-Op to be the elite of the game divisions. Keep it up! I like Atari. I have been here (but not in this "division") almost 3 years and have grown quite attached to the ol' fuji. I wish you all the best and sincerely hope that each of you, and Atari as a whole, succeeds. You still have hard times ahead of you but I have faith that you will pull through. Good luck, Dave

I'm sad to say that I will be leaving ATARI after 7 very enjoyable years. I doubt that I will ever again be able to work with as many exceptionally talented and fun people. I wish each of you all the best wherever life takes you. To those of you who are staying with ATARI, I wish you the best of luck in turning this see-saw industry around. I hope that I someday have the opportunity to work with you again. It's been REAL!! Sincerely, John Ray

Goodbye to all those whose lifes intersected with mine. I've enjoyed working with you all these past few years. Good luck to all those who must now carry on the tradition of Atari, "the serious funtakers." May we meet again in future incarnations, and may you never take any wooden garfields. Eddie Dean Babcock, Jr. P.S. I'm listed in the Albaugh white pages.

I just wanted to say good bye to all the great people I have worked with these past 8 years. "good bye to all the great people I have worked with these past 8 years" I've really enjoyed the Atari experience. I hope those staying can pull the company out of this deep hole. Who know, maybe the company will grow big enough again that I can someday come back and disrupt everything again. And if not, and if it gets smaller and smaller... who knows, maybe one day I can come back and buy it!!!!!!!! Ill be about one more week, so get your abuse while you still can!!!!! It feels like graduation from school again...so now I got to go out into the real world and find a job!!!!!! Im in the Albaugh white pages, feel free to call anytime, either for a chat, or for the Rubin answering message of the month! -O-
