  Well I 've read this info for a few months now and I have some burning
questions of my own.
  Is it true that one can use the Nec Multisync colour monitor wihtout
modifications? That 'll be a nice solution if Atari 'll support a higher
resolution.Yet it's price here in Europe is still a lot more than I can afford.
(But the price I've seen it advertised in U.S magazines,namely about the same as
a plain Atari colour monitor here{=$600},makes me feel jalous which is also the
case when I see those American software prices.)
  I also want to now what the best Pascal compiler available is for a St with
one diskdrive.Or do I have to wait for Turbopascal?
  C is out of the question because I don't want to spend the rest of my life
learning another (computer)language.It maybe that it is faster but in my opinion
,that's because the other compilers aren't fully optimized yet.(And does one
really need those extra %s speed ,or does one a faster computer)
  I've also considered GFA basic.If it's good ,it 'll make interactive
exploration of the St possible for the lains like me.
  And the last one.Is there a numerical co_processor for the St?

                                 Ron
