 I was under the impression that this was going to be Atari's big machine for
 Comdex. It certainly would fill a niche (gap?) as far as under $5000.00 *NIX
 boxes go. Everybody and their grandmother, including C= ;-} ,has a PClone
 out. Sun and NeXT have the > 5000 market pretty much sewn up for now. Apple
 has K through 12th grades for the educational market. A 68030 *NIX machine
 aimed at the college crowd seems like the obvious choice for a company so
 desperately looking for a gap to fill. I don't know of any students here at
 Tech with 6500 burning a hole in their pocket to spend on a NeXT, but 
 2000-3000 would raise a few eyebrows. 
 
 Please Atari, do something to convince me that the ST shouldn't be the last
 Atari product I buy. I was really looking forward to getting my hands on a
 machine with a STANDARD bus architecture (VME), O.S. (*NIX), windowed
 interface (X Windows), etc. with an ATARI pricetag.
