- Did you ever read any of the coverage of the 520ST when it first came out?
-
- Cover stories in Byte magazine, Creative Computing.. features about how
- the "Jackintosh" was going to bury all the other kinds of computers..
- Articles about how MicroSoft was going to port all its Macintosh
- applications to the ST (Atari people said so, so it must have been true),
- and how Atari Corp was poised to take over the computer market with its
- amazing new, cost effective ST computer...
-
- And then... and then... and then, nothing happened.
-
- Atari fumbled, and didn't recover...
-
- And the magazines went on to other, more realistic kinds of things.
-
- (I still have those 1985 issues with the STs on the covers.. pretty sad.)
