Unfortunately, this is a product that has zero relationship to the ST
world (and so now someone will followup to educate me as to the nature
of Economics and profits and probable wonderful spillover effects into
ST products, ya, ha ha, right), and I'm beginning to question the relevance
of Portfolio postings to comp.sys.atari.st, Atari-related though they may
be.  I gently suggest that perhaps such postings should be directed to
comp.sys.ibm.pc or comp.sys.msdos.thingies or comp.sys.portapotty_boxes
or whatever.

Interesting that we U.S. ST owners have so little of substance coming from
Atari to discuss that we could wax enthusiastic about an MS-DOS flavor of
Intel-driven box that just happens to carry the Atari logo.  Ugh.
