Well the Mega is here but the blitter is not!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have talked to 
Atari and "I will see it in Jan.????????", I have a question for other
people in the Canadian market, "How long did you have to wait after buying 
your Mega before(and if) your blitter showed up?". I know there is problems
with the mass production end of things, but it is a REAL DRAG waiting for
something that has already been PAID for. I just hope that the people at
Atari can get things together soon, I know they are trying. A question to
the people that do have them, just how much of an increase is there in 
graphics?, is there any speed increase in the fills, and line drawing of
any noticable degree?                     
Thanx(sorry to bend your ear)
