- You weren't paying much attention to Atari's last two "new" computers,
- were you? MegaSTe and Falcon030 are _barely_ classifiable as expandible
- and upgradable. There is a serious lack of modularity in Atari's
- designs, and they don't seem to keen on fixing that shortcoming. After
- all, they've been listening to us complain about it for _at_least_ seven
- years now.
