Personally, I think it would sell a lot of STEs. Obviously, people aren't going to buy an STE instead of a TT because it has the new desktop... So, what's the best course of action? We can write to Mr. Sam Tramiel, president of Atari Corp. and tell him what we want. If you'd be willing to pay for the new desktop on your old machine, tell him that. If you might buy an STE which had the new desktop included on a disk, tell him that... Tell him it will sell more STEs and Megas because it looks so much nicer than the old one and everyone else's machine looks better at the moment. Anyway, you get the idea... I'm composing my letter now, and you can too. Here's the address: Atari Corp. 1196 Borregas Ave. Sunnyvale, CA 94086 If enough of us write, it may happen.
