I don't have any figures, but looking at out local stores, I'd say the ST
is not dying.  The STs and Megas are selling, as is software, there is
no market growth.  In the computer industry, stability looks like slow death.
This is exaggerated by the fact that Amiga sales have been picking up for
a while (but I suspect they wil slow as well).

As for Beckemeyer, I would agree that his sales are not a good barometer of
the ST market.  He deals in tools, and business systems--two areas where the
ST is pretty much locked out (until there are PC compatible card cages and 
co processor boards) because there is not the huge customer base.  I also
suspect that to some degree, BDT products have reached some saturation point.
And BDT sells PC baced systems, which obviously are more attractive than ST
systems.
