  I'll second that, Steve.  As a new 1040ST owner, I love the little beast,
  but I came damn close to buying something else because of all the
  anti-Atari flames here.  I couldn't be more satisfied with what it does
  and how it does it.  If I'd wanted an 50MHz '486 with 100 Gb, I'd've
  bought one...  As for gripes about "late" product releases, you finally
  learn that a product ISN'T a product until you can buy it...
