- So, to those of you out there with ST's, what's your opinion?  How 
- good are the Mac/PC emulators for the ST?

A friend of mine has a Spectre GCR (Mac emulation) and a Supercharger 
(IBM emulation) and loves them both.  He has an 80-meg hard drive 
(with ICD host adapter) with Mac and MS-DOS partitions for his 
emulators.

- Do you have any advice - for someone getting set-up with an ST 
- system?  (i.e. advantages of 520 vs 1040, what hard-drive to buy,
- colour or mono monitor, etc.)

What are you going to be using it for?

- As well, I don't hear much about the ST these days.... Is it about 
- to go the way of the dodo?
 
If you don't hear much about the ST, you're not looking in the right 
places.  You must seek information; it doesn't come to you like the 
Mac and IBM world does.
