This is not directed at Ken or Allen, OK?

My family followed Atari's upgrade path and got a Mega2 after we sold our 1040.
We love it and use it for more than we ever though we would.  Now I'm trying to
decide on a computer to take to school with me.  I've really been leaning
toward the ST, especially since I have the Spectre 128 (If I get an ST I'll
probably upgrade to the GCR).
                        *** BUT ***
Now I find out that Atari crippled the Mega2s in an effort to rip off it's
customers.  I can stand bad support, but that's outrageous!  I'd rather not buy
a computer from a company that does stuff like that.  Planned obsolescence was
_supposed_ to be a joke.

Will Atari's support improve?
Will they quit making computers with unnecessary limitations?
Will they be around long enough for me to buy a STACY4? (I've given up on the
ATW)
Will I have to get an Ameoba with A-MAX instead?

stay tuned next week...
