A buddy of mine called up Atari on an unrelated thing, and asked whoever
he was talking to what the status of the Blitter was.  What a surprise...

According to this 'source', 520 (that's all he asked about) owners will
be able to buy an upgrade that has:

A) Blitter (with new ROM)
B) 1 meg upgrade
C) Nicad internal clock

The price she said?  $150.  If this is true, this is the thing that Atari
needs to get some of us crabs off their backs.  My check will be in the
mail 20 minutes after I hear that 'its time to send in for it.'

If anyone at Atari has comments, I'd sure like to hear them...
