During Thanksgiving vacation I went to an ST dealer in San Francisco
and the technician told me that he ordered two TTs the previous day at
$1000 a piece.  He said that when he got them at the end of December, he
wanted to be locked up in a room for a month to develop on it.  He said
that the retail price would be $2000.  STart magazine said they would
be sold for $1500.

So, I guess Atari's going to be getting a lot of registered developers,
according to Spieu.  :~)

The tech also ordered an STe, he said.

The dealer said his Portfolios were selling like crazy.  No word on the
STACY.
