-----
just a followup to my original post regarding minix/ST:

a) i kinda figured the pre-pre-announcement about minix on the ST was either
   from a close contact to the developer(s), and obviously not the _REAL_
   thing. i just wanted to let everyone know that "it's on its way..."

b) there was no ill thoughts whatsoever on my part in this matter with
   respect to either atari, our friends in europe, or anyone else for that
   matter. i'm actually glad that the ST is doing so well in europe, since
   that means that ST developers can make some $$$ of their own, if their
   products get to europe.

c) i know that atari probably has no ties at all to andy tannenbaum, other
   than perhaps interest in the project.

d) i, and alot of other people out there _STILL_ have legit gripes with
   atari on other matters.

e) i really like my ST. it generally runs circles around my more expensive
   XT clone (512k, 20 MB HD, 360k floppy, no 8087). it has to be the best
   buy around, still. we just want it better, that's all (so there,
   mr. good!!!)

looky here, smiley faces {:->  !:^)  [8-o  so no flames, pls...
