What there is Roberth, is what there has always been and always will be...
People who simply want to know what really became of lost hardware and software,even if the news isn't quite what they wanted to hear.
This is why so many of us devote so much time to the painstakingly work of collecting all the media coverage we can, contacting sources from Atari on both sides of the Atalantic, talking to coders, artists, P.R people, publishers etc and openly share what came in, so all can benefit.
I've honestly no idea exactly who's in your group,it's an irrelevance to be blunt..that's not a criticism or attack on yourself...
But you have to bear in mind, considering not so long ago you were convinced I was part of Reboot and some random guy editing Wikipedia...

I've really zero interest in who may or may not be on a FB group.
As I've stated more times than I care to think about, Facebook simply isn't something I have any interest in, paranoid groups aren't suddenly going to make me rethink my approach to social media.
This isn't North Korea and there is far more to the Atari community than some high walled FB community or group, research goes far beyond trespassing on private property, dumpster diving and bragging only you have the Atari engineering documents and Atari existed way beyond Atari Corp, The Tramiels and Darryl Still.
I've noticed paranoia in Atari experts before, Marty Goldberg saying Bob Gleadow wasn't to be trusted as a source of info..he would of had an agenda..
Really? Those that actually worked under him/with him credit him for turning Atari UK around, being a hard,but fair boss..and speak very highly of him.
Others have been singled out for liking to tell a brave tale, not actual events, Nolan Bushnell publically attacked on AA years ago..yet we are supposed to see these people as unbiased writers/researchers?
It's just as simple as the fact being this thread has been created to collect the most accurate sources of information regarding the Panther, as a chapter in Atari's history.
You, not so long ago claimed what Mike Diskett told me..Wasn't actually what happened regarding Jaguar Magic Carpet.. A bit bloody stupid considering Mike actually joined Atari Age and confirmed it..I'll find posts and put link up in a moment..
But the irony wasn't lost when i received a message from someone who didn't give a name,last night saying what Leonard had actually said differed to the account given on here.
We will of course be contacting Leonard to confirm what was said.
I know JSIII loves a bit of drama and people won't let events of JSII, which was before my time, heal over..
But again, it's an irrelevance.
The fact is Leonard himself stated he wished people would check with sources before making such claims, was not missed by myself.
You knew Kierans article had incorrect information in it, information which both The One Magazine and Atari Museum had gotten wrong..
You knew the entire point of this thread was to explain what had been found and confirmed since then and to clear up fabricated claims once and for all..yet you still put it up.
It had no place here as The One article alone formed the basis of claims made by professional publications back in the day, pixel nation not in same league.
So it was always going to generate a response as we're Atari Museums claims...
People never really stop researching...until they are sure everthing possible has been done.
