   Is this going to be standard Atari policy (finally)?  I sure hope so.
 The only problem I had with my ST the first few years was the number of
 floppies I had to use for just one task (like running a compiler).  Since
 I sold my SS and got two DS drives,it's been a real joy.  Having a 1-meg
 computer with a ~350K disk drive just doesn't sound right...
