Ah.. a "mistake in generalization" is DELIBERATELY spreading
false information, eh..?
 
If I said "NO Atari computer..." then I was mistaken, and should
said "NO ST..."

(If you reallllly wanted to catch me out, you could have
mentioned that the original Atari 800 was indeed user upgradable
with 16K memory cards... too bad.. you missed your chance..)
 
Tell you what though.. .Portal archives message threads, so I'll
go back and see if I can find the original posting..
 
Funny though.. all the semantic games in the world won't change
the fact that Atari Corp themselves say that the TT is the first
Atari computer to be user-upgradable...
