Dave one thing Atari should have done was to produce the 'Mindset'
I did read that Atari did have a option on it..??

Also there is this Great U.K Computer called the Archemides
by Acorn, its a Risc machine, there risc chips are being use in the Apple
Newton...

Sort of leaves the A1200 for dead and the Falcon here, mainly on price,
comes with a lot of software built in, has a 2 meg byte Rom, uses a 10 sector 
1.4 meg disk, giving 1.6 megs, uses IDE Hard Drives, PC type keyboard, but
there are lower grade models like the ST, and they come with a monitor, the Top
model (A540) has Svga, plus 1152 * 900 mono, the lower ones
are 640 * 480 256 colours...

There notepad called the A4 was in Byte some months back, they stated that
Acorn had the first multi-tasking windowing machines...
