From descriptions and from what I've seen at shows, it's a nice machine that
probably won't sell very well.  There'll be disagreement, but I think it looks
like a serious computer.  It runs fast, with good backward compatibility.  The
68030 is a good chip for programmers.  The video is "Good Enough".  But in a
market that contains fast 80386 boxes and the NeXT, the TT isn't going to be
a hit unless it's priced about where the MEGA STE is supposed to go.  Pity 
about all the delays.

While we're at it--anyone seen a TT or a MEGA STE offered for retail sale in
the US?
