	A couple of weeks after this was published a retraction was
published.  It seems C.E.K.A is really a kid who just wanted his 15
minutes of fame.  He told lots of people about how great his product
was, promissed to send out demos, etc.  But there was no product to
send out.

	There are two Macintosh Emulators for the ST.  Neither company
is planning to release an Amiga version.

	ST Report is a "news magazine" distributed on BBS's and some of
the commercial networks.  It's the "National Enquirer" of ST computer
magazines, lots of rumors very few of which are even close to reality.
Mariano just isn't a very good reporter.
