	No I don't know, but I've got one...they came out in europe 1.9.90

	Well, if you HEARD so then how come you don't buy one at instant ?

	That's true ! not even in finland.... but that's probably why
	it seems that the most dedicated usergroups, with GNOLEGEABLE
	users have formed around st/TT -here (ST-club with it's PD-
	librarys, monthly diskmagazine, developers meetings etc...)
	I think the st/TT being not the "safest" choice, it has dropped
	out many teenager kids who mostly play games (and used to use c64
	and use amiga now) and PC/MAC type of users.... ST/TT is more
	distinctive type of thing... this flaming about amiga/st/TT being
	better or not is like arquing between cars: wether SAABs(st/tt)
	are better or worst than VOLVOs(amiga) but they both are better
	than LADAs(russian car and (PC/at/386/486) and are in totally dif-
	ferend price group than mercedes(mac) ???? I just happen to like
	saabs... and there's a certain destinction between most saab drivers,
	which aren't always that good. (here they say "SAABism is a desease!")
	;-) but usually the ones who never drove one ;-) ;-)

	again... this takes a little brains and coordination, but with that
	the monitor sits nicely on top of the central unit (why would you like
	to open covers and sit it on top of the cpu... for keeping it warm ??)
	-> I imagine that would be a little hard...but then..... ;-) ;-)

	I have a feelin the person also wonders about the "pen holder" in front
	of the machine... and what to do with it...?

  	From the

	What's that problem, while I'm not aware of...?
