I just bought a 1040 STe and upgraded the memory to 4 meg.  I've noticed that
a lot of pd software others have suggested as great programs do not run or
bomb my system.  Examples so far are CAL 5.0, which will not run, and MELT,
which melts the screen then bombs the system.  Some of the software that I
wrote with Personal Pascal long ago (I gave up writing for the machine about
3 years ago) has some odd reactions on the STe that my old 1040 did not.

I'm also interested in what the architectural differences are between an ST and
an STe.
