Wow.. now THERE's an open mind for you..  too bad you didn't
actually take a good look at what else is available in the world.

In addition to the terrific sound and operating systems on PCs,
and the smooth operating system on Macs, you also get the
advantages of support from the company that made your computer,
AND the not inconsequential benefit of wonderful software support
from developers who are *happy* to be in the market.

I see.. you're "stuck" with Atari, so you're going to badmouth
anything else there might be.. 
 
By the way, you must be new here..  go back and actually READ
the things I've posted.  Find where I said I don't like my ST..
please...

>In the meantime, don't bullshit at newbies...
 
I might suggest you do the same.. don't lie to them.. 
don't tell them everything is rosy in the world of Atariland..
don't tell them that people like David Baggett will always be
around, no matter what abuse Atari Corp may dish out to them.

If David decided to bulk-erase his masters of the Game Workbench
and say "screw Atari", I wouldn't be surprised.
 
You may consider the truth to be "garbage", but then again,
you're stuck with Atari, come hell or high water, and you have
to reconcile yourself to that.  If the truth hurts, then maybe
something's wrong with your slavish devotion to the company..?
Ever give that any thought..?

>No programmer willingly tosses out work just because of a stupid corp...

Don't bet your life on that... you get spit on enough, and you'll
finally say "enough".
