that's interesting hearing this from daniel. i've had the same thing \
happen here in good old canada. almost 2 1/2 months ago, i got a call
here at work from atari canada (i think the guy i talked to was named
rotenburg, or something like that) about doing some graphics/sound
demos for the STE. at the time i said, "sure, why not". he then said
that it would be a couple of days before he could clear with his 
superiors this idea so that he could ship an STE unit to me at 
electrohome.

well, its been 2 1/2 months and i have yet to see hide nor hair of the
STE, or any call of explanation from atari canada. its too bad because
at the time of their initial offer, i had the spare time to actually try
to do some useful stuff on the STE. now i don't.

oh well ... life goes on.
