let me just say two things. i am really getting annoyed with all the
"atari doesnt support me so i am going to buy another computer" and "dont
you all know that X computer is much better than atari" messages. im
mean really,this is the comp.sys.atari.st group. how about a
comp.flame.atari.st conference? then we wouldnt have to read this garbage
if we didnt want to. 
two,i have noticed quite a few people talking about the STACY/STE/TT
et al. as being "vaporware" because they cannot see it. look,vaporware
means it does not exist,is all hype. or a prototype exists in a primitive
form (this is stretching the term). all three DO exist and have been
shown,used,seen,touched by REAL people in the US and in Europe,etc. if
you cant see it,that doesnt mean its vaporware. this is an extremely
narrow form of mind and it scares me to see ST users thinking this way.
it is like an infant whose world consists of only what he/she can see.
if something is hidden or in another room,there is no such thing. oh
well,just my $.02 worth.
