Hi,

	I've had an 1040ST for awhile but really haven't had time to
	used it too much. I now have some free time so I pulled it out 
	of the closet and it booted up just fine.

	Anyway, the last time I used it, almost a year ago, there was talk 
	about Atari releasing an updated OS, blitter chip, 4-Meg upgrade, 
	and stuff like that. Did any of this stuff ever get released?
	I sent in all the registration cards when I purchased my 1040ST
	and would assume (am I nuts!) Atari would keep me informed of new 
	product releases and such.  Well, to this day I've haven't received
	anything from Atari. The question is did I miss any major updates?
	If so, how would I go about getting my machine updated? 
	I'm in good shape with the software I purchased for the machine
	since I kept upgrading the packages when the vendors sent me 
	their upgrade offers.  My only problem is the ST itself.

	Also, which are the latest mags for the ST computes. I sent
	in a sub. card to STart last year but never received anything.
	Now I can't even find a St mag anywhere. Any recommendation?

Thanks In Advance,

John
