Bugs, tons of them, I saw a Atari magazine that noted doing some simple 
math in basic would result in several cherries. what ever i do on my ST
will cause the system to crash, the Basic interpreter is really bad. 
After so long i just stopped using it, and put it back in the box.  I
have tree 8-bit Atari computers, And like a fool, i assumed since
Atari's other computers were good the ST would be too. 

Anyone looking for an Atari 520ST with mono and color monitors and a 
external disk drive make an offer. I need some cash so i can get an
Amiga.
