I had to reply to this one, I have just purchased a Mega, and it is a very nice machine(love that disk I/O). I see it this way, the ST has just had a face lift for the better(could never go back to a 520/1040), and with the full expansion port on the back who knows what will be out in the next 6-12 months. I still consider the ST a better computer that the Amiga(no war please!), we (as in all of us) need to help push the ST to it's limits(we haven't even start to expand the machine). This is going to take input from all, even more so on Atari's part. The other I meet a fellow that just bought a new IBM clone, he asked what kind of machine I had, when I said a ST he just looked at me as if I spent big $ on a game machine, he was soon updated by me telling him that the ST would run circles around his CLONE. It is this image we need to change! Thanx for listening Barry( oh ya!, I speak for myself of course )
