On the subject of future machines, I recenetly read that the
availability of the new "STE and TT" machines would be announced in
Feburary of next year."  The STE will apparently be '030 based and
have something like 1000x7000 colour pixels.  Cost for one of these
will be about $1,600.  That's a fairly amazing price for a 68030 box.

Does anyone have the real dope on when we can expect an '030 Atari
machine in the states and will it really be inexpensive?  I've been
thinking about getting something cheap just for music applications
(cheap meaning the Mac is too expensive) and the MEGA fills the bill,
but with the '030 based Atari's just around the corner.... well.

Any details?
