As a perspective 520ST buyer, I was interested in the comments made by Jack
Powell in the new STart Magazine concerning the usefulness of current ST
software. In his article "Practical Software For The Non Developer", Mr.
Powell paints quite a dismal picture of what is out there.  I have used a 
Macintosh and know the kind of quality software that is available for that 
machine.  Although everyone talks about the great potential of the 520 and
1040, I cannot help feeling wary about future software development for these
machines.  Can someone restore my confidence??
