The only solicited aspect of the following letter was that I asked a 

 call-in customer to fax his comments to me in writing as exactly as he

 could from our phone conversation. He asked me what I wanted him to

 emphasize and I told him to tell the truth and to simply emphasize

 what he wanted to. This is what I received about 45 minutes later...

 Dear Don,

 

 Thank you for answering my questions about the Atari Portfolio.



 As I mentioned to you over the phone, I am a survivor of the East Bay Hills 

 fire of October 20, 1991. We had very little time to evacuate, and we were 

 able to take with us only a few of our personal possessions.



 I was the last one to leave the house, and I left behind many personal 

 things, including my wife's expensive pearls and many irreplaceable movies

 of our children; but one thing I did take was the Atari Portfolio. I took

 it for two reasons; one -- I'll be honest about it -- because it was "right 

 there" on my desk, since I use it all the time; and the other, because it

 contained information that I thought would help us get back on our feet -- 

 as it did. I had telephone numbers of friends and relatives, credit card 

 and insurance information, etc., all of which proved extremely valuable to 

 me and my family in the terrible days that followed.



 I have been using the Portfolio for several years (I was one of the first

 users) and I have been very pleased with it. It was well worth saving from 

 the fire.



 Thank you and regards,



 D.Garcia
