I am really getting sick of the childish messages on this list that make
fun of serious concerns related to the ST's marketing.  
/* End of text from net.micro.atari */

I have yet to see a message displaying serious concerns about the ST's
marketing.  What I *have* seen are "Nyaah, nyaah"-style messages from
folks who seem to feel insecure about their choice of computers, and thus
look for any imagined opportunity to tear down the 520ST, claiming that
any inexpensive computer is a "toy," that nobody will write software for
a computer that doesn't cost too much, and posting innuendos about the
520ST's or Atari's alleged imminent demise.  Up until very recently,
nobody has bothered posting any of the various articles describing
Commodore's financial troubles to net.micro.amiga.  I know I've refrained
from posting items I saw a while back in *Info World* about delays in
software development for the Amiga.

Have fun, folks; I'll be back when OS-9 is out for the 520ST.  With luck,
notes might have additional filtering capability by then.  Even better,
people who seem less interested in technical matters than in bolstering
their egos may go away.
