Of course it's already too late to stop the small pyrotechnics display this
posting started, but in case no one has yet answered the original question:

Q. What's ST mean?
A. ST stands for Sixteen Thirty-two... this is because the ST is a 16-32 bit
   machine; someone with a leetle more knowledge will need to give the
   specifics of what is 16 bit and what is 32 bit in the ST.
   Atari is supposed to release (has released?) the Atari TT which is a
   fully 32 bit machine.  (Thirty-two Thirty-two)

I hope this provides a sufficient answer to the question.
As for 'amiga', I believe it is Spanish for 'friend' and more specifically
it is a 'female friend'.  'Amigo' is a 'male friend'.  While we're at it,
'Diga' means 'speak'.

This concludes today's computer names/Spanish language lesson.  :-)
