The TT is finally there (at least in Germany)!
Monday evening (the 10th of September) too my surprise I saw a TT in
one of the shops of Munich that carry atari computers. The dealer told me,
that they really sell them now. On saturday they already sold one and the
customer left the shop with a TT and a smile on his face. That only to emphasizethat you can really get one. They demonstrated Calamus for another customer
on the TT and a ST to show the speed difference. No wonder the TT was much 
faster even though he only had no fast RAM. As I entered the shop just before
it closes I had no time for a closer look, so only a few informations. I hope,
I remember the numbers right, but I can't guarentee it. The configuration with 
32 Mhz, 48 MByte hard disk, 4 MByte RAM and a color monitor costs about 7500 DM.You get around 1.6 DM for 1 Dollar, but I think you can't calculate a reasonable
american price out of it, because the Dollar isn't doing very well against the
DM at the moment. I can't say anything about the new desktop, because I was 
satisfied with Calamus for the moment, as I didn't know that there is a new one.
