Re Atari Canada:

    Non est qualis erat when Julius was there, but Atari Canada is
still very good. I know of at least one Atari distributor who far
prefers Atari Canada over Atari US. I don't know if they are as good
for end-user support as they were with Julius, though.

    Your dealer probably cannot get any 520 STs because Atari is
planning to discontinue them, and make the 1040s the low-end ST (so I
have heard, and it makes a lot of sense). The STEs probably are still
awaiting CSA approval -- they had to remould one part of the Stacey
(hence the delay until January). As for the 1040s, who knows? Any other
comments?
