Re: Dogg Thang's comment about Atari: i've had crazy fantasies of buying the remains of Commodore Business Machines and Atari [both of them at successive times owned and operated by the same family, the Tramiels] and bringing one or both names back to produce a very cheap moderately powerful compact computer on one small board, with middle of the road performance, but extremely low price and no expansion slots [except for one DMA external access port], producing thereby a very stable platform, almost like a game console, but with the usual versatility of a general purpose computer. but i tangentise; the relation of this to the topic is that bringing back ships from the earlier league and giving them further development is an idea that appeals to me. seeing Tigron, Xios, EG-R, and most of all, Icaras return to racing would be very satisfying to me, and entirely in keeping with the thus far published history of Wipeout anti-grav racing leagues
