I just read in the English mag Popular Computing Weekly
that Atari has problems getting a licence for their STE's 
from the American RFC (Radio Frequency Control?)

Apparantly the SIMM-sockets output too much radio noise,
or something like that... It seems to me that SIMMs
could cost Atari Corp. quite a lot more than the <$1
claimed here at the net!

This might explain why SIMMs are promised in European STEs,
while Atari US are very careful not to promise anything...
