I was all ready to order my Atari 1040ST Color System, so I call the
store, only to find that they'd jacked all their prices up about $300!
They told me Atari had forced them to do it for the holidays, but I
don't know...
     
Anyway, I'm really considering getting a monochrome system instead.
I'm more interested in the finer resolution than color and games
(who needs their roommates bashing their computer playing PAC-MAN?).
Advantages to monochrome? Disadvantages?  Opinions sought.
     
Also, I would like someone to give me a fairly technical review of
Personal Pascal.  Right off the bat I'll need to know if it runs on
monochrome, but I'd also like to know how faithful it is to UCSD
(Pecan's Pascal suffered a true beating by some).
     
As an afterthought, is there a good monochrome font editor, and does
anyone have the Cyrillic font?
     
Oop ack.
