I am pleased to announce the promotion of Steve Williamson to the position of
Supervisor of Shipping, Receiving, and the Stockroom for Manufacturing.

Steve has been with Atari Games since August of 1988 at which time he was
assigned to the Receiving Department.  Steve continued to work in Receiving
and did an outstanding job of organizing and streamlining the Dock to Stock
process.  He was able to reduce the Dock to Stock times from 3 plus days to
less than one.

In June of this year Steve was promoted to Stockroom Leadperson and was charged
with insuring the accuracy and integrity of kitting, stocking, and data entry.
Steve once again excelled this position and has demonstrated to all of his
fellow Atarians a can do ability that is appreciated by all.

Steve will have responsibility for all aspects of material control, receiving,
and shipping. I feel very confident that Steve will continue to excell in this
new and challenging position. Please join me in congratulating Steve.


                          Thanx,       Tom Smith

	I have just received this weird mail message from myself and I
can only say that I'll never leave myself wide open to such practical 
joke by leaving myself logged on my terminal while I'm not around.

	Also, I only hope that the people mentioned in that mail message 
can forget the stupid message and not take it seriously.


					Farrokh 

Not funny.

Simply tasteless.

But I guess that's the kind of humor we should expect from someone who eats
lamb heads.

Whatever PERSONAL problems you guys seem to have, please keep them that way.

My personal and public apology to Farrokh.

As for those terminal gremlins...

TO THE "GREMLIN" THAT DECIDED TO DISGUSTINGLY DISPLAY THEIR SEXUAL
FANTASIES AT MY EXPENSE, I HOPE YOU THOUROUGHLY ENJOYED THE EXPERIENCE.

THE NEXT TIME YOU FEEL SO ENCLINED TO USE MY NAME IN VAIN, PLEASE HAVE
THE "BALLS" TO AT LEAST USE YOUR OWN NAME, OR FEEL FREE TO SEE ME
PERSONALLY.

STEVE

Well, at least nobody borrowed anyone's tools.........

WOW!

	All hurt personal feelings aside I really 
enjoyed that little spat of mail.

Thanks to all concerned for making me laugh.

P.S. Oh yeah congratulations to Steve Williamson. I hope
     his on the job perfromance continues to impress others.

...maybe I should have used the "I shouldn't leave my terminal unattended"
excuse too.

I apologize to all who might have been offended by my "lamb's head" comment.
I did not mean it to be insulting to any particular group of people, so please
excuse my ignorance.

There are several people here that attended a dinner at a Greek restaurant in
Chicago who watched a certain member of our group order a lamb's head and
eat it for dinner.  My remark was intended to be a reflection of my own
personal taste relative to another individual's personal taste.  Thank 
goodness ice cream is made in many different flavors!!!

I certainly do not want to cause World War III here at Atari; so again,
I accept complete personal responsibility for my actions and please accept 
my personal apology.

                                             --Linda

P.S.

Congratulations, Steve.  Keep up the fine job.  You have always been
helpful and supportive to us here in the Marketing group.

One is reticent to enter the "mail-ways" in light of the hate mail that
is flinging around today, but here goes:

We managed to zap the offend-a-gram before everyone got it. If you don't
know what all the fuss is about, then nevermind.

Even though I have reason to believe there's no danger of more instances of
this sort, I'd like to recommend the more liberal use of SLEEPWP (or logout)
anyway.

BTW: My congratulations to Steve Williamson on a job well done.
-------------------------------------------------
An now for something completely different:

Due to the fact that the power to the building in 675 will be off between
the hours of 8am and 1pm (or thereabouts) this coming saturday, I'd like to
remind everyone that during those hours there will be:

	NO Telephone service in either 675 or 735.
	NO computer services in either 1623, 675, 735 or via modem.
	NO outside access to 675 

In preparation for this, I plan on shutting off the computers on friday
at about 9pm. They will be backup and running late in the afternoon on
Saturday.

So, please, please, please don't call me saturday morning to tell me the
computer doesn't work. I'll know that already.

Thanks in advance.

    So, we had a junk mail message this week that was offensive. ..........

	We seem to have a new policy here at Atari to make a new policy when
ever someone steps over the invisible line. I hope that doesn't happen in
this instance. We should not let one person ruin a good thing for the rest
of us. I believe that junk mail is a valuable vehicle for expounding ideas,
venting frustration, disseminating worthless information, selling our extra
A's tickets, and whatever else.
	Humor at the expense of another is rarely good humor. We can only be
our own judge as to what is in good humor and what falls into poor taste.
	After an incident like this one comes an eerie junk mail silence. I say
on with the show. Write that junk!

			Thanks, this soapbox is closed,
