Hi Atari Fans (Haters ?)

as an employee of an exhibitor for Smalltalk80 on MegaST (great stuff anyway)
I visited the German Atari fair in Duesseldorf today.
Among lots of *very* boring software and demos I found the following...

TOS 1.4 alife and kicking (actually on the machine next to me).
It's fast and shows a good feeling for hard disks (though i discovered a bug
in the first ten minutes. But hey! who expects a beta version to be bug free?)
I was told that the main schedule for the ROMs is end of november.

A 1280@960 points screen compatible to most Atari products (including our
Smalltalk80) for about 5000 DM (thats 2500-3000$). Lots of $$ but a
nice and high quality product.

The legendary Atari CD ROM!!!
It's real.

The Atari transputer machine (just another demo, but the machine works still :-)

Lots of rumours about the TT. Seems Atari is really working on it.
