Well, I finally found a ST-520 dealer.  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.)
