Judging from the traffic on CompuServes ATARISIG, most of the machines for
the users groups have arrived. There have been a few minor problems with
the machines, but all-in-all it seems that the people with ST's love them.

The July 22 issue of (I think) Electronic News quotes the Atari VP of 
marketing and sales - they say they are shipping 20,000 a week and expect
to ramp up to 30-35,000 in a month or so. However, the west coast distributer
has not yet recieved any. "Your ST is in the mail".

The Official anouncement of the Commodore Amiga is due to happen this week,
and rumor has it that Commodore already has stock on hand ready to ship.
