Remember, ATARI is trying to shed the 'game machine' image.  I believe
they deliberately avoided the sprites (not needed anyway) and super
sound to show they are serious about producing a machine that will be
considered for business and other serious applications.  I think this
will hurt a little bit when they bring out the 260STD because that 
machine will be bought primarily for people to use at home and they
will want to play games and have great sound.  Only time will tell.
