Perhaps Atari took it to heart that people aren't real pleased about the
40 folder limit and decided to put out a machine that wouldn't have such
an incredibly limiting problem. At least one vendor that I've spoken with
about networks (BMB Compuscience in Milton, Ontario) uses a PC or compatible
as the master/file server in a LAN scheme, neatly circumventing TOS's brain
problems.... This company is also the ONLY one I've spoken with that will
say "Yes, we'll network your ST's TODAY!", and I've called every one I've heard
of that's involved with an ST network...

Disclaimer: I'm not involved with BMB or atari, just trying to use ST's
at work... where they have a very sparse idea that Usenet exists and no
idea at all that the company name is in my .signature ...
