I currently own an 800XL I bought last year for cheap as a game/teaching
software machine for myself and my family.  I currently WANT to own
an ST, because I feel it will be a viable machine for the future.  Yes,
the 8-bit series seems to be getting phased out for the ST (and TT?),
but I STILL WANT to see articles on both; the 8-bit for now, the
ST for the future.  The level of traffic in this group is not that
huge; is it really that burdensome for people only interested in one
or the other machine to skip past (to them) irrelevant articles?
