While we are on the subject of "adding data for those with a statistical
bent."--as Dave Flory (I think) puts it.

I own (or at least have in my home) a 1040ST, an IBM clone, an Atari
1200XL, and a Mac Plus.  Out of all of them the one I have had the least
trouble with are the two Ataris, I have had to have my ST's drive heads
alined a few times (that might be due to the fact that I format SS disks
as DS).  I haven't had any other work done on any of the others.  The
Mac Plus' OS is buggy.  Every-so-often it crashes just when I'm in the
middle of something big that I haven't saved for a while.  My Mac Plus
also dosn't have a reset or restart button, so when I get a system error
(which I do often) I have to turn it off.  I used to have a Mac 512, and
when I upgraded found that the Mac 512 and the Mac plus were not very
compatable when all of my favorite software bombed.  My ST is my main
computer, and I usually only use the Mac for an occasional game, or
desktop publishing (because I have access to a laser printer).
 I totally ignore my clone, and basically my 1200XL has retired for a
games machine.  I am very pleased with my ST, and I believe it is the
best microcomputer on the market today!

~~~~~~~ As far as Megas go, after hearing about the problems of the
Megas, I asked my local Atari service man how many Megas he had in to
repaire, he said none.
