- Well, like I've said in several posts, I might've missed something
- better, or I might be barking up the wrong tree, or I might (shudder!)
- be trying to gather as much information as possible before I even start
- to move to another platform.

- Hmm, so I'm not at all optimistic about Atari's chances of success...
- Your point?

- Hmm, check the FAQ for my name. Do a search on the GEnie file libraries
- for C.HERBORTH. I've also helped innumberable people find
- software/learn to use software/etc on their STs.
-
- For Atari, I've bought their system (and two monitors). For the
- developers, I've bought things from Timeworks DTP to MaxiFile III to
- Dungeon Master.
-
- It's amazing how easily some of the people here leap into defensive mode
- when you start to suggest that maybe, just _maybe_, there might be
- something better than Atari. Right now, I happen to think OS/2 might be
- it, and I'm trying to get as many first-hand opinions as possible.
