Well, I did mean strictly "by the numbers".  In many areas the "specs"
of the TT exceed those of the A3000.  I don't mean that I think the
Atari is a better system; in fact I don't.  Many 386 systems beat the
A3000 "by the numbers" (many particpants here love to point that out
on a regular basis).  Unfortunately, there *are* people like the one in
the Apple ad: "...the one with the most MIPS, Megabytes, Megahertz;
you know...", and those "specs" will sway some purchasers.  Not in the
USA of course; nobody here buys Atari anymore. :-)
