	Since everyone seems to be asking about Comdex but no one is answering
I will pass on some information from the STinformer.  I don't have it with me
right now but if there is enough demand I will give a more complete report 
along with subscription info for the newspaper.

	* Atari was using the largest room at Comdex called the Gold Room.

	* Fleetwood Mac gave a one hour MIDI concert for Atari.

	* The Transputer has been shipped to developers in England.

	* The PC-clone got almost no attention by dealers at Comdex.

	* Atari has PROMISED that the U.S. market will finally get a lot
	of attention. This is different because Atari almost never promises.

	* Atari has signed a contract to insure the supply of DRAMs

	* New STs will be shipped with 1 megabit chips.

	* Atari got a lot of attention with the Fleetwood Mac concert.

	* No new machines were shown other than the Transputer.

	* An ST laptop was shown. (Don't hold your breath.  It was a hand
	assembled prototype but it did work.)

	If anyone out there wants more info just request it. I'm late for class
so I've got to run.

P.S. I've changed my mind.  I'll post subscription info to the net for the ST  
Informer. It is very unbiased and gets info out much faster than any magazine.
