- Nope... Atari has already said that they will only sell TTs in 
- configurations that THEY want to sell you...

Hey, at least Atari gives us the power.  The other companies won't even 
give us that much.

BTW, I thought the TT was sold without a monitor, for something like 
$479.  What forces someone into buying it?  If it's not sold 
separately, please correct me.  Makes the (lower) price of $2399 so
much better.
