(or anything else that says it, owners of 400s, >600s and 1200s shouldn't feel excluded.) 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?
