I received a copy of your mail message entitled "non-eng terminals ". I would like very much to understand it (since I am mentioned in it) but unfortunately, I cannot.
John Farrand, an executive who headed up the coin-op division at Atari, sends out this inscrutable memo that mentions Jed.
Jed politely asks what he means.

I received a copy of your mail message entitled " non-eng terminals ". I would like very much to understand it (since I am mentioned in it) but unfortunately, I cannot. My copy came with very little punctuation and with words missing. I don't know what you mean by " comm " or " para's " or what it is that I apparently think. I am not trying to be funny or even disrespectful. I honestly don't understand the mail message. Jed
