Not from what I've heard. There's a local Atari-only store near L.A.
called Logical Choice, and they've been getting Mega ST's and other hardware
without problems. I've heard, however, that there is a shortage of ST's in
America in general (apparently they're going over to Europe, where everybody
is buying them like hotcakes [can anyone confirm?])...Seems us AmericAtarians
will have to wait awhile...
On a similar vein, Sam Tramiel/Neil Harris admitted on GEnie that they've
been neglecting the US market quite a bit, to focus on overseas sales...
