I read something this weekend about Atari "not >wanting a 1040 to be hooked up to a TV and used as a game machine" ... To be fair, I believe that what Atari mean when they say things that get reported like that is: We don't want the 1040 to get the reputation of being a machine which people only buy to hook up to a TV etc... The problem is that if the world-at-large gets the idea that 1040's are primarily games machines, they won't consider them for serious use. May not be right or fair, but that's how the market works. Speaking of which, the 1040 probably *is* a games machine. I WANT a 1-MegaST; anyone from Atari listening?
