This is very important to me, so if you have any clue tell me asap!

I intended to order an Atari 1040 ST color system today.  I have been
slavishly saving my money for months and months now, only to have the price
raised on me again and again.  This upsets me.  But then the clincher:

NOBODY HAS THE ST IN STOCK!

I called CMO, Lyco, Bay Express, All the mail order firms I could get my hands
on and a couple of local ones too.  And NOT ONE of them had the 1040 in stock
and did not expect to for 2-3 weeks.

What the heck?  I want to order now, and I don't want to have to put up with
another price increase.  If anyone knows of anywhere that I can order from
mailorder with a total *including shipping* of $1010 or less, REPLY.

Would somone from Atari care to explain whatever happened to their motto?
