Sorry, forgot one or two things:

* Some company has produced a small hardware interface for the Atari
  ST that enables genlock-possibilities. Certain colors can be designated
  to be used for another video-display. Thus you can have a 'live' video
  picture of a group of people and animate all kinds of animals among them
  from the computer. Useful for video-artists only, I believe.
  BTW: A dutch company is daid to release a similar product for a price
  of < $40.

* The New Magic Sac cartridge will run system 3.2, Finder 5.3. That means
  HFS is now supported. A functioning system 4.0, Finder 5.4 (the latest)
  is unlikely, Small said.

* MicroDeal also showed a pre-release of a game called Jupiter Probe.
  Looked a lot like Gold Runner, but was ok.

* Robtek England has a new piece of hardware that allows users to switch 
  between monochrome and color monitor without having to change the plugs.
  They couldn't show it as their first sample "was not representative".
  It will retail for around 20 pound.
