    In re to posting damagin reviews: I kept the most damaging stuff out, but
    left in what related to the 'review' someone did to the Amiga in much the
    same way. From the same article in _Creative_, listen:
	    "...Even this idle exploration was not to last. After a few short
    hours of poking around, my ST started acting like it had eaten too much
    cotton candy and was looking for the men's room. I started to get duplicate
    images of the Busy Bee icon all over the screen. Then, random dots started
    speckling the screen as if bees were really the cause of yellow rain. I knew
    the end was near when mushroom clouds began to appear. The more I rebooted,
    the faster the machine would crash, until finally I turned it on and nothing
    happened. Sure, I had had fun a couple of hours, but I really didn't feel
    as though I had gotten my money's worth."
    ---------------------------------------
    This was from the very _latest_ issue of _Creative_. It probably was
    written little more than a few weeks ago.

Actually, lead time on articles for magazines like Creative is on the
order of two to three months.  The authors complaints related to the
fact that some of the first ST's out the door (around July and early
August) had their chips loosened in transit.  This is NOT true of
current machines, at least as far as I've heard.
