" "In all of the interminable up-close-and-personal features ABC ran during "the Olympics, there was one on Debi Thomas, figure skater and pre-med "student using her computer. Well, look at that, it's an Atari ST "(looks like a 1040). " "Now, this would have been better if Debi had won the gold, but she is "a role model, not only as a skater but as a student, and if you want "to show the ST as a serious computer, maybe sell a few to college "students, she sounds like a perfect spokesperson to me...and she "already chose the machine!

He likes Debi's ST so much, he's planning on getting one himself. How about a team ad? Sounds like a perfect match. While we're at it, Debi's Mom could be in there to. I met her once at the computer store I work for. She is a very pleasant, articulate person. Besides, she gave Debi some ST software for Christmas! Matthew Seitz
