Why oh why does Atari charge an arm and a leg for their hard 
disk drives ~600-800 when I can get a 20MB hard disk for an AT 
for less than $300? I like the ST but would I shell out that
much for a hard disk (which incidentally I think is a must)? No way.
I almost feel like now considering the AT which I can now pick up
for < $1K, almost the same price as a 1040ST.

grumble, grumble,

Pradeep
