Just to clarify once more:
- I know that Atari is a small company and I appreciate the efforts
(Alex,Neil and Landon) they are making to keep us on the net informed.
But since they are small, that is one more reason to keep the number
of different product lines small (->Atari PC).
- I realize that things like 40 folder bug, GEM problems are in their
roots not ATARI's fault, on the other hand they didn't just notice
them yesterday. The 40 folder problems was the subject of longer
debates nearly a year ago, and just as old are Atari's promises of
fixing the problem. (This was just for the newcomers, so that they
get the proper perspective :-)
- I don't think that Atari will drop the ST line tomorrow, but if
read the responses of Neil and Alex carefully, you will notice
that two of my major complaints have been confirmed:
- ST/020 earliest beginning 88 (this means in the real world
christmas 88)
- Blitter upgrades late this year
- Date for the MS-DOS emulator...who knows...
- I don't think Amigas are that wonderful, typically for use in a
office by a none Hacker, they are absolutly hopeless (not much
better than raw MS-DOS). On the other hand you can't bomb the
machine with a '_'!
