I felt the same way, and yet, I was happy to see that most of the 'ususal'
ST supporters still were listing new software items in their catalogs.
This may be small consolation but I get the feeling that they are trying
to keep the market covered for a while yet to see if Atari does really
start pushing the ST big time.  If nothing (much) changes between now and
next summer, I think you will see a whole lot less new software available
(at least from US software companies).  I say summer, because that is the
CES I attend and because that is when software houses are pushing what
will be available for Christmas.  Actually, the Winter CES in January
might be an early indication of things to come.
