When the Atari ST came in the mid 80's it was the best price/performance
machine, I think. But now I have begun to think that it isn't it
anymore. I just hope they could have kept it that way... Well, now it
seems to be the NeXT. Currently Atari's are similarly priced to Amiga's
and Macs (because of the new cheapish models). I wish Atari had some
kind of educational discount, since otherways there is no way I would
buy a TT over a NextStation (Think about getting a 68040 machine with
8MEG, DSP, good monitor, Unix, and 105HD for $3500).

I think something has to be done. (And I wish something will be done,
since there is lots of nice software for the ST, too.)
