I've had my ST for 2 years now.  I've bought quite a few things for it;
expanded the memory from 512 to 1024, added a battery backed clock, 
a couple programming tools (Personal Pascal and Mark Williams C), and lots of
games.

I like the idea of fixed ROMs and making them compatible with old software.
I am a college student who bought my ST on the Student Discount that 
Atari offered me back in '86.  I'm a computer science major at UNM, where 
they use 10 1040 ST's in the Assembly language class (Assembly on the
M68000).  I was thrilled when I found that out - doing most of the 
programs on my system at home.
 
I'm glad Atari has decided to go with a compatible OS.  I'll want it in 
my machine for sure AND I don't want to have to shell out tons-o-bucks for
my broken software.
 
Now that's what I call power without the price.  Thankyou Atari!
 
(Better make it soon - I want my Blitter, too, damnit!)
