I bought my MEGA STe (4 MEG RAM/50 MEG HARD DRIVE) April 2 here in Toronto.
I used to have an old 1040ST (TOS 1.0) and calculated that it would have cost
me the same money to upgrade my memory (pre-SIMMS) and buy a hard drive as it 
would buying a brand new MEGA STe.  Now I have brand new TOS, double speed 
processor and blitter as a bonus.  
I would have bought a TT030 but Notator doesn't run on it yet.  However, Calamus(amazing DTP program) is very fast on my MEGA STe compared to the 1040ST so all
is not so bad.
There is another thread which asks the question: Is a high res mouse better than
the stock Atari mouse?  Well I gotta tell you that the difference is night and 
day.  My Golden Image GI-250 mouse takes all the sluggishness out of GEM.  
Clicking is way easier and accurate.  Obviously I don't mean that GEM itself is
improved; it's just that it SEEMS THAT WAY.  I always admired the smooth MAC 
desktop-mousing around compared to the Atari.  Now it's BETTER than a MAC--the
feel that is.  Spend hundreds and hundreds on a computer--why not treat yourselfto an excellent $75 (Canadian $) mouse?
