Now now now, let's be patient.  This is what I read in a UK mag.  I
know the STE is out already in Europe and not available here.  The
announcement will be made in Feburary.  If you have better information
then share it with us.

Considering that Atari Corporation refuses to tell me ANYTHING about
these boxes, it shouldn't be surprising that a lot of vapour is
floating around.  Quite rude too.

Since I posted the article on the STE I've discovered that it is
really much more scaled down than the TT.  Apparently it will have a
mere 1 meg internal RAM with a better colour pallete and an 8-bit PCM
sound chip AND SIMM slots... APPARENTLY.  Who knows what Atari will
announce.
