I don't want to start a long (and boring!) discussion about this but if you are
willing to pay any amount then you will always get a 'better' computer.
I've heard a braggart go on about how great his '486 machine was and how it
could do anything an ST could do and some more. BUT for the price of this
particular machine you could have bought 4 or 5 ST's and so more people would
have some computing power on their own desks.

I really think Atari should make the business community aware of their product
line and get the ST/TT into the offices of the world!
