Engst) Distribution: world Organization: Theory Center, Cornell University, Ithaca NY Lines: 11 Keywords: future, is there any? Summary: Yes, but . . . While I certainly agree that Atari should try its best to keep its customers (and I mainly mean previous ones) happy, before I got my 1040 I had an Apple II compatible, and I never felt that I suffered from not having the support of Apple Corporation. I think most of my security came from the huge number of expansion products put out by third parties, an act which I believe would probably happen with the ST were (powers forbid) Atari to stop supporting the line entirely. Nevertheless, I will add my voice to the many clamouring for a sound (just a peep mind you) from Atari as to the future of the ST's. Adam Engst The above opinions can probably be proven incoherent in a court of law.
