     Has anyone heard any new, juicy rumors about the Commodore 
and/or Atari Mac-killers?  There was quite a flurry of information 
in late Feb.  and early March, but I've heard almost nothing since.

I know DRI has demonstrated GEM on certain (blue) PCs.
I peeked at net.micro.atari, and the Atari 130 is apparently out,
but no one has actually *seen* the GEM based machine (although one 
mail-order house was taking orders....hmmmmm.)  There was also a 
rumor/question concerning Atari possibly cancelling "some of their
new products."  The .68k and .cbm micro newsgroups had no info.

     My personal skepticism with regards to the price/performance
claims for these machines is being reinforced by their failure to
materialize.  What's the latest?  Anybody know?
