I strongly disagree. I believe that we have seen two very different ways to market a machine as shown by the Amiga and the 520ST. Commodore went to all of this hullabalo and general hype -- WHERE IS THE MACHINE? On the other hand, Atari didn't say anything UNTIL THE MACHINES HAD BEEN shipped. Speaking of Byte, look in the next few issues -- GUARANTEED an in-depth look at the Atari 520ST. Other magazines? Compute!, Creative Computing, Personal Computing, Family Computing, Infoworld, Computer Shoppers... this list goes on. Well done ol' chap! On another note: the people who brought you "Printworks" and "Set FX+", Robert and Mary McDowell from SoftStyle (a Honolulu based company) came into the store today to get some software from us -- "Mudpies" and some demos... they also have the developer's kit and are developing software for the 520ST.
