- A little story from down-under ...
-
- A friend of mine who deals in computers (PC clones, ataris and amigas)
- had someone come to him last week with a 520STFM that had the 1MB
- upgrade and was working OK except for the floppy which needed replacing.
- My friend gave him a quote to fit a double-sided floppy to his machine
- for A$100. This guy ummm'd and arrr'd for a while and then said that
- if my friend gave him A$60 he could have the machine. He ended up
- refusing the deal because apparently you just can't unload atari machines
- here anymore, even if you give them away!
-
- Sla/n go fo/ill,
- Risky B.
