Sorry to netters who have posted this or read it..but subsequent to
the announcement that Atari would be mass marketing 520ST was the
announcement of the 1040ST.  Although details of how the packaging
would differ, the machine appears to be upward compatable with the
520ST but with *1MEG of RAM*.  Thus, taking the historical landmark
of being the first off-the-shelf micro to have a minimum configuration
of 1MEG.  Not bad for a toy.  (And then there's apple with a 68000
and 128k of RAM--talk about useless toys.)

Now--pardoning my posting--could we discuss Amiga here and the sour
grapes about other machines to /dev/null.

Yours for better computing,
