Just to clarify once more:

   - I know that Atari is a small company and I appreciate the efforts
     (Alex,Neil and Landon) they are making to keep us on the net informed.
     But since they are small, that is one more reason to keep the number
     of different product lines small (->Atari PC).

   - I realize that things like 40 folder bug, GEM problems are in their
     roots not ATARI's fault, on the other hand they didn't just notice
    them yesterday. The 40 folder problems was the subject of longer
     debates nearly a year ago, and just as old are Atari's promises of
     fixing the problem. (This was just for the newcomers, so that they
     get the proper perspective :-)

   - I don't think that Atari will drop the ST line tomorrow, but if
     read the responses of Neil and Alex carefully, you will notice
     that two of my major complaints have been confirmed:
             - ST/020 earliest beginning 88 (this means in the real world
               christmas 88)
             - Blitter upgrades late this year
             - Date for the MS-DOS emulator...who knows...

   - I don't think Amigas are that wonderful, typically for use in a
     office by a none Hacker, they are absolutly hopeless (not much
     better than raw MS-DOS). On the other hand you can't bomb the
     machine with a '_'!
