- I'm sorry, I don't agree. If I want a more expensive machine - a more
- `serious' machine, if you like, then I will buy a PC - the industry
- standard home computer. However, what I want is a hobbyist machine
- whose operating system and users are constantly growing, developing and
- improving, whilst still delivering the power to run the applications I
- need; so I will opt for an Atari.

- Myself, I am very impressed with the specs/price ratio so far. I do
- feel a little let down by the 16MHz clock speed. I will pay for 32MHz
- and fast memory in the Falcon. I'm sorry to say I will not be buying
- a 16MHz Falcon.
