i'm sorry, i just can't tolerate this discussion anymore...

by not fixing some very nasty bugs in something as basic as memory allocation,
you don't get a choice. no one is forcing you to get the new ROMs. you can
always keep the old ones and never upgrade. it's just plain stupid to take
the stance that we should maintain backwards compatibility for the sake of
programmers that tried to fix the the deficiencies themselves. if that were
the case, we all would still be using 8-bit systems with 4k memory and no
new systems/software would ever be produced. i'd rather have a choice. now
you have no choice. how many of the 500,000+ STs do you think will ever see
the new ROMs anyway?

if atari really wants to please everyone, then offer 2 ROMs: one with and one
without :^)

the ST is a very nice system (eventhough they recently raised the prices to
developers). i don't think even the bitterest of developer out there could
deny that. atari corp itself needs a slap upside the head every once in
awhile, though...

(this is not directed to h.chu in particular...it was just a convenient place
to jump in...)
