Thank you Matthew. I have been quite happy with a 520ST (note NOT expanded
to 1 Meg or with Modulator) that I bought back in January '86. I have several
pieces of PD programs and a few other commercial programs that ALL work. Usually
together or separately. I myself use Flash, as I love the editor in it. For
WP, I use FirstWord Plus and as a database, SDB from David Betz, Thanks Dave.
I have found a replacement, which I have sent to Steve Grimm, for VC.TTP
called Sheet, now up to version 1.4.

So do I. I recommend it to many people. I was at a recent Music/Midi demo
at a local Music store and the people doing the demos were from out of town
and also recommended the ST for its' price and MIDI interfacing. They didn't
sell the computers and sold software for many computer systems but seemed to
recommend the ST for many things.

Hope others feel the same way.
