Well, not all of us are sitting around complaining about Atari, lots of us
are using our computers for all the various and sundry (and not so sundry)
things we bought them for. Me, I use a computer all day long and a
flicker-mundo display is the last thing my eyes need to deal with in the
evening. I *really* appreciate Atari's rock solid, crisp mono monitor.
(You may infer what I think about some other displays; I'm not interested in
a flame war.)

ST magazines? Well, maybe Wall Street is the center of the financial world,
but I can walk into any B. Dalton in a suburban shopping mall and buy 
more ST mags than I want or need.
