Did you ever read any of the coverage of the 520ST when it first came out?

Cover stories in Byte magazine, Creative Computing.. features about how
the "Jackintosh" was going to bury all the other kinds of computers..
Articles about how MicroSoft was going to port all its Macintosh
applications to the ST (Atari people said so, so it must have been true),
and how Atari Corp was poised to take over the computer market with its
amazing new, cost effective ST computer...

And then... and then... and then, nothing happened.

Atari fumbled, and didn't recover...

And the magazines went on to other, more realistic kinds of things.

(I still have those 1985 issues with the STs on the covers.. pretty sad.)
