OK, here's a rumor that can have deep implications on the ST community:

NOTE:  This is a rumor that I've heard and am only passing on.  We will know
       soon enough if this is true...

Atari will be showing/announcing a new machine at CES.  It will not be a new
ST, and it will not be 68020 based machine.  What it will be is an IBM clone,
running MS-DOS and all the software associated with the IBM family.  This is
NOT the IBM box for the ST!!

This could be both good for Atari and bad for the ST...

DISCLAIMER:  The people at OATC know nothing about the ST or the Amiga, and
             couldn't care less...

p.s.: as I post this a co-worker came in and handed me the announcement in the
      San Jose Mercury Times... guess it's not a rumor!!
