Do you know what percentage of ST owners want to upgrade their memory
without buying a new machine? I'd suspect that Atari thinks that it's
close to 0%, so it's worth the small amount of manufacturing cost it
saves them.
Personally, I'd guess that a lot of Mega2 owners are going to
eventually want to upgrade. But I'm tired of reading about it on this
group already. Write Sam a letter.
