- Around 7 years ago I bought my 'real' computer (1040ST) and have been happily
- 'using' it ever since. I have since upgraded to a Mega and have added-on to
- the best my budget could handle and the ST continues to be a perfectly
- acceptable solution to my computing needs. It's a good thing that PC prices
- have fallen to the point they have, as they need all that 'power', ram, and
- disk space to get anything done.
-
- You can also add me to the list of people who are getting real tired of your
- negative, bitter, and personal attacks on Atari and others who post here.
- Granted that Atari has it's problems and has made more than it's share of
- mistakes, others have made plenty of mistakes too. There is no perfect
- computer just as there is no perfect software, etc.,etc. The fact is, many
- of us reading this newsgroup do so because we like and support the Atari
- platform and we do not enjoy the continual badgering from you. Dave Bagget
- has a legitimate beef with Atari and I appreciate his view on that situation,
- but I am tired of you riding his coat-tails on his dealings with Atari. Why
- don't you go deal with them and then come tell us about it.
-
- In the meantime can we please stick to worthwhile information that will help
- those of us who have decided to make the most out of our STs (and eventually
- our Falcons).
