     This is astounding to me.  Atari has been marketting the 1040ST as an
office machine and frankly, that's what I felt it was best used for.  The
lack of wires hanging around needlessly makes it an ideal "end user" machine
for business applications.  Doesn't anybody 'here' want to become a
"professional" programmer or consultant? (just joking ;-)

     The thing to do is to develop applications, package them and sell systems
to people who don't want to do programming, but don't want to muck around
with a "toy" computer with wires and little boxes cluttering up their desks.
Yes, I realize that I'm talking about going head to head with the PC Clones.
I think we are at the point where it's possible to do this with what's
currently on the market.
