  rec.games.video would be the most appropriate, but do go on.

  TYhe January/February 1991 issue of ATARI EXPLORER has an extensive article
on the internals of the Lynx. Fun reading for EE types, go grab a copy.

  Lynx support is better than ST support (and I own both!), I think. There's
16 games out now, a bunch coming soon in the first quarter of '91, third-party
games on the horizon, and the recent COMDEX announcement of a smaller/cheaper
Lynx II ($99) and the price reduction of the Lynx ($149). If Atari drops the
ball with this machine, it'll be inexcusable.

  I'm impressed with the machine, too.

                                                --R.J.
                                                B-)
