Lines: 19 You bet that I will not be buying an Atari machine next time around! Where is smalltalk for the Atari? Does my Lisp have nice 'engines' like PC SCHEME? Can I have multi-font word processors like I have in the Mac? *N*O*P* To be fair, there is MWC, a very decent compiler and WordPerfect (who is not likely to do any more work for the ST), but compare my spreadsheets to Excel! In the balance, I was (still am) poor and could not afford any better. Now I am saving to be able to overcome computer poverty. Atari sure has let down the north american customer, so I wish them well when they move their head- quarters to Germany. No, I can not be loyal to Atari. Andres F. Moreno p.s. I do hack my machine all the time, and for that, it has served me ad- mirably.
