Unfortunately, the XF551 was not present (that I saw) at our World of
Atari show last weekend.  I wanted to see what it looks like (is it that
thing in the pictures on the back of XE boxes?).

At least the 8 bits aren't waiting for blitters :-)

And a question:

How many 8 bitters are using a mouse?  How many would like to use a mouse?
Is the software (such as RAOS) acceptable?  Thanks for any replies.
