- Companies are still producing software for the original 68000 ST. Seems
- to have more lasting value than the 8088/286 PCs that probably are
- the source of all the dust, due to their disintegration.
-
- So what most people with PCs are looking for is the latest upgrade to
- run that bloated and hyped OS/application at productive speeds. Or
- it could just be that some "experts" pointed a direction and the herd
- followed...

- Pretty ironic that you should mention the age group that Atari should
- market to since they are generally open-minded and at a point where
- they can comprehend the technology behind the machine that manipulates
- sight and sound so well. And it's theirs for only $799.
-
- It also looks like you are determined to continue your infamous AEO
- tradition of pontificating about PC superiority to the point where
- people scream at the torture. Go ahead, make my day.

- You probably missed in all your diatribe on AEO, the inquiries from
- prople in NZ that were interested in becoming dealers for Atari.
- That's a trait of yours that people in this group will get very
- familiar with, unfortunately.
