Um, I've been thinking about this, and I am very curious to hear how anybody
might figure out how those of us who are "programmers and such" will "switch
to the Mega-ST".  From everything I've heard about it, that is exactly what
I would like to do this very minute -- save some desktop space and get an
improved keyboard, not to mention everything else!  No, strike that.  What I
wish is that I had waited until the Mega-ST came out!

Honestly, how are those of us who have 1040STs going to sell them off now
that the Mega-STs are out and our 1040s have dropped in retail price to
probably significantly below what we paid for them?  Even without considering
taking the bite in price-drop, how are we going to find a market for used
1040s now that they have been made obsolete?

I am fantastically glad and excited about these new developments:  but for
my own personal purposes, I am concerned ...
