Chuck McManis gave us his wish list and asked other people to give theirs.  I
love wish lists, but mine is different from his.
     1) TOS 1.4 (we agree on this one)
     2) A faster ST (he may include this in his wish for a 32-bit box)
     3) Video at least as good as VGA
     4) All-around improved hard disk support (bigger, faster, easier)
     5) Don't gratuitously block upgrade possibilities

Frankly, I like the present ST very much, and consider many of its problems 
'version 1' types of things.  So my wish list doesn't aim at a new machine, it
aims at 'version 2' of the ST.  Think of it as original IBM PC vs AT: the AT
was mostly just a cleaned up version.  I can wait (a LONG time) for Atari's
analog of the PS/2.
