It is a pity that there is not a bigger push in marketing the
ST's and MEGA's as OFFICE machines !

I have an XT (clone) in my office, a 1040ST and a second 1040 at
home. I NEVER turn on the XT anymore. The ST is BETTER SUITED TO
MY USES! I use it as a workstation on a SUN 3/280- with the ST I
can use the best comm pgm I have ever found (UNITERM- pd), I can
compile C, FORTRAN, or PASCAL, spreadsheets, wordprocessing....
just like a  MAC+ or XT but faster! 

In fact with the release of SPECTRE 128 I expect to not only
beat a MAC+ in performance BUT WHILE RUNNING MAC SOFTWARE!!

		IS THIS VALUE OR WHAT! 

Others in my office opted for MAC+- you
should hear their complaints about memory shortage when trying
to use a WORDperfect, etc.


Say what you will about atari or the ST it is the best buy I
could find! Knowing what I do about my ST - if I heard atari
would close shop tomorrow I would rush to a dealer today because
the 1040ST DOES SO MUCH FOR THE PRICE!!!!!!! 

<flame on>
But please, someone bring European hardware/software business
products over to the US!!! 
ethernet , TeX and many other goodies await if only someone
(like atari) would push this or the mega hard in the US as a
sensible alternate office machine !!
<flame off>
Thats my 2cents. If I offend any MAC owners dont write- I love
MAC software I just dont love the MAC price all that well. As
for the XT ditto....
