Lines: 12 I bought my 1040 almost a year ago, and have not had so much as a single disk errors with the machine. The reason (one of them) that I bought the ST, was that I have a six year old 800 which never had any trouble until it died last week.(sniff,sniff). I am not sure about the reliablility of other brands after the kind of hacking that I put those machines through, but I know that I will always swear by Atari. -- Phil Paone paone@topaz.rutgers.edu "Admiral...There be whales here"
