Last Thursday, I was at the PC MAGAZINE Editor's Day.  Much to my suprise,
Atari was there, too.  It wasn't a big showing, they just had a table, no
signs, a couple Portfolios, and some Atari people.  However, one of those
people was Sig Hartman, so I pumped him for a little information.

He told me the ST-E was available as of last week.  He didn't give me specs,
but said it had more colors and stereo sound, and was compatible with the
SC1224 monitor.  Since my roommate is a registered developer, I called on
Atari on his behalf.  Unfortunately, Gale Johnson, the new Developer's
Coordinator, knew nothing about the ST-E.  I'll be checking in next week to
see if there's any more info.

Mr. Hartman also said that the TT would be shipping 4th quarter '89, probably 
late 4th quarter.  He mentioned that it will have the ability to support
multiple users running GEM programs, using STs as terminals.
By the way, you may have seen an article on Moses Computers and the PromiseLAN
network in ST-LOG a while back.  As an employee of Moses, I can tell you it
was more wrong than right.  As soon as I can find out how much info I can
tell, and if there's any interest, I will pass it along.
