| Oops, make that could "not" get parts
<<< Note 980.0 by DUGGAN::DLEE >>>
-< another Atari service center dies >-
Just found out that Bob Fitzpatrick, N. Billerica, MA (USA)
does not do Atari service anymore. Could "not" get parts and doing Atari
service was just killing them, business wise. He will finish
whatever he was given, and concentrate on a CB radio store he opened
in Malden, MA.

980.2 | Bob will be missed | BAGELS::FELDMAN | Jerry Feldman DTN 227-3279 | Mon Oct 15 1990 11:22 | 9 |
| That is a big loss for Atari in Eastern Mass. Bob is one of the best
technicians around. His work is very neat as well as competently done.
Unfortunately, I do not know anyone else whose work is as good as
Bob's, although John Kamoutses of Syntronics does repair work also.
Over the years, Bob has supported the BCS/Atari BBS by providing us
maintenance services for advertising.

980.3 | Another confirmation | ALLVAX::PETERS | Don Peters, CTC2-1/C14, 287-3153 | Thu Oct 18 1990 14:25 | 14 |
| I just called RF Microtech to confirm that he is no longer in the Atari
business. The news is true, unfortunately. I do know that he has been
unhappy with Atari's policies for some time, but he still hung in there.
No more.
Anyway, I was told that his days are now spent at his CB radio store at
72 Eastern Avenue, Malden, Mass, 617-321-2550.
He has performed a valuable service for all of us Atari owners in the North
Boston area, and I wish him luck.

| FOR ANYONE WHO IS INTERESTED THERE IS GREAT SERVICE FOR ATARI IN TWO
LOCATIONS WEST OF BOSTON. THE PLACE IS CALLED THE BIT BUCKET IN SUDBURY
ASK FOR JOE. IF HE CAN'T HELP YOU HE WILL KNOW WHERE YOU CAN GET HELP.
WITH ALL THE TALK ABOUT ATARI HEADQUARTERS BEING IN BOSTON WITH THE NEW
CEO THINGS WILL IMPROVE FOR THE OWNERS.
THE BIT BUCKET WILL ALSO HAVE A BOOTH AT ATARIFEST 90.

980.5 | Joe Aiello is a long time Atarian | BAGELS::FELDMAN | Jerry Feldman DTN 227-3279 | Fri Oct 19 1990 11:50 | 10 |
| Joe Aiello (I think I have it right) has been involved with Atari for
many years and is a very knowledgable person. As some of you may
remember, Joe worked with Thom Graziano at Compuclub.
With respect to Atari headquarters in Boston, it is a definite NO.
Also note that the Bit Bucket has purchased the largest booth at
AtariFest.
