Well, ok...its time for *this* discussion again.

Does anyone have a semi-firm date on the US release of the TT? It
received a write up in STart, complete with a couple BIOS calls 
and a photo, so I presume they got their hands on one somewhere.

I called my local Atari dealer in Warwick, RI and asked if he
heard anything: one guy laughed and said (sarcastically) "probably
just in time for Christmas, 1990." Unfortunately, knowing Atari's
past record, there was nothing I could say to him. He also 
alluded to notion that an East Coast release would come long 
after a West Coast and Mid-West release. Does that make *any* sense
to anyone?

Anyhow, I put my name on their (growing) waiting list, so I'll
get called when they finally arrive. 

How about it Atari? Any ideas as to a date?

Also, one other question: how long after the US release will UNIX and
X Windows be available for the TT?

Thanks for any and all info...
