Wakey-wakey Dave.  Atari's soon not going to even HAVE a 68000 machine
 in their line -- they're just too darn slow by today's standards.

If you bought a "new machine" and it was an ST, then you've just popped
through a time warp.  Check out the prices 1040STe's are being flogged
off at by long-term Atari dealers - it's a runout sale.  I picked up
a SM146 for $AU190, which is quite a saving!!  They're all about to
become obsolete [though the SM146 is a *nice* monitor!].

Smell some roses for a change.
