	I dunno, that wasn't the impression I ever got.  Mind you, Atari
has been a little fuzzy about ROMS, but I don't think they really said
THERE ARE NO NEW ROMS.  More like, "The new ROMS that will come with the
blitter will not likely have a new, debugged GEMDOS."  Or, "look, we didn't
write GEMDOS and it will take us some time to fix" (mind you, they've certainly
had a good, long time...).
	But as far as "whether or not these new ROMS will be available for
current ST owners" (referring to the message from the guy at Atari) -- well,
if you were simply talking about the new ROMS with the blitter code in them,
you d*** well BETTER make them available to us as promised.  The only thing I
can conclude from that statement is that the blitter itself might not be made
available to current ST owners as an upgrade.  Please tell us this isn't true.
Or we shall all be decidedly upset.
