Remember that people using comp.sys.atari.st are mostly techies--the kind
of people who know that it's hard for one computer to emulate another, and
who admire a neat hack.  For the outside world, the availability of desktop
publishing systems ranging from personal to production-class, Moniterms,
evidence of continued development of professional word processing programs
and the musical promise of STacy are more exciting.  As for the portfolio,
we'll have to see what market it finds.
