	The ATARI 520ST is coming out unbundled (just the cpu/keyboard by
itself) this month.  ATARI quotes its price to be under $300.  It should
available at K-Mart and other mass market stores.
	For more information, check net.micro.atari.

	Now that the 520ST is available for a much cheaper initial outlay,
it becomes  THE micro to get for MIDI/computer applications.

The 520ST used to be available only in a package that included the
cpu/keyboard, one floppy disk drive, and a monitor.  Formerly, the color
package could be gotten for $850 and the B/W for $699.  Now that the 520ST
cpu/keyboard can be gotten for less than $300 and can be hooked up to any
TV/monitor, more of us can afford to jump into the computer controlled MIDI
scene with a very powerful microcomputer (we've waited long enough :-).
