Tenchie, perhaps you never heard about the Compaq 386 Deskpro? Look it up.

[Not a Short]

Jaguar wasn't x86 compatible. Nor would it run Playstation or Nintendo games. In the end it was software support not hardware that decided the fate of Atari/Jaquar.

as such Jagaur is more comarable to clarisworks than to any PC item (and even that is a piss poor analogy).

You might want to look into it more deeply before trying to make the analogy.

Tenchu:

I think the better question is what happened to Atari.
