Well, like I've said in several posts, I might've missed something
better, or I might be barking up the wrong tree, or I might (shudder!)
be trying to gather as much information as possible before I even start
to move to another platform.

Hmm, so I'm not at all optimistic about Atari's chances of success... 
Your point?

Hmm, check the FAQ for my name.  Do a search on the GEnie file libraries
for C.HERBORTH.  I've also helped innumberable people find
software/learn to use software/etc on their STs.

For Atari, I've bought their system (and two monitors).  For the
developers, I've bought things from Timeworks DTP to MaxiFile III to
Dungeon Master.

It's amazing how easily some of the people here leap into defensive mode
when you start to suggest that maybe, just _maybe_, there might be
something better than Atari.  Right now, I happen to think OS/2 might be
it, and I'm trying to get as many first-hand opinions as possible.
