Value, always an important consideration in the high-priced, high-tech world of microcomputers, represents the major criterion for two of our awards this year. Our Hardware Value of the Year goes to the Atari 520ST, a product whose makers pride themselves on providing quality for a low price. Indeed, what last year was available only on machines costing $2,500 and up can now be had for less than $1,000. The power of a 68000 microprocessor, the ease of an icon-based graphic user interface, and the ability to do serious work is available for the cost of last year's toy. Atari 520ST, an amazine machine for the money. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Need I say more?
