   So it goes. If it's a game machine only, mebbe they're saving the cost of
   the keyboard and it's associated hardware - keyboard processor, clock, and
   joystick and mouse and serial ports. Probably also remove any floppy drive
   and controller, so who knows, they could shave the cost down.

Of course, if it's only a game machine, then it isn't really a "suped
up" STe.  That was the point I was trying to make.  The STe is a REAL
computer, not a toy!
