   Chris, I remember you saying something a while back about buying a
Macintosh.  Hmm, you seem to be moving through these machines at a mighty
quick pace! :-)

As for the old ST:

   Well, I've heard statements directly from knowlegdeable people on
Usenet that Atari's financial position is bleak, and Atari is probably
going to go out of business soon!  You should probably offer the whole
set for $10 or so, to get rid of it before you have to pay someone to 
haul it away.

(Sorry, I couldn't resist :)
