I'm not impressed with him, anyway. He claimed to have only one demo disk, he wouldn't let me put it in myself, and when my nine-year-old tried printing the screen and halted the machine, he took the demo disk out. He didn't seem too big on answering my questions, such as "Can you get a second disk drive?" and "Do you know when GEM Write will be available?" (Yes and no, respectively.) He seemed to think that the only software currently available, aside from GEM itself, was some Infocom games. So, two questions. First, does anyone know of any other ST dealers in east central New Jersey? (If so, or if you want to know where this guy is, *MAIL* don't post.) ____ ________ ____ ___ ____ More importantly, what software have you seen on shelves or in your hands? Announcements, advertisements, and assurances of "Real Soon Now" don't count. (Neither do beta test copies.) -- -Paul S. R.
