That sounds like an apple of a story to me.

However, I too have had an ST for a long time - its one of the old 520's from
when they were launched in the UK (1 and a 1/2 years ago), and I agree, atari
have generally been very good.

For instance, both the blitter and the sound chip will be made available for
all ST's (when they become available) - have commodore said they will upgrade
the old blitters for the new improved ones? or add them to the new bottom of
the range machine? i think not (dont yell too loud if im wrong).

OK, you can't get the documentation seperately, but my dealers have been
good enough to let me brouse through bits when I needed too, and there are
several alternative sources of the info - they have mistakes, but I'm sure
the official docs do too.

I've always found atari helpfull, if a little slow (aren't they all).
And I intend to by a 4M mega ST this summer to replace my old 520, after all,
the software I have would cost even more to replace than the computer.
