Hello everyone out there in Net Land,
 
     I read in a magazine article something that kind of bothered me.  It was
from a software company that said, "the reason we don't like to do software
for the ST/Mega is because they use a single-sided drive, and we don't want to
have to use four disks".  If these companies would look at the ST/MEGA a
little closer they would know that Double Sided drives ARE standard on the
ST/Mega.  There are several software companies which have had GREAT success
with the ST having software on Double Sided disks, most notably, Sierra.  I
guess what I'm trying to say is that we (ST/MEGA users) should write these
companies and give them support that we will BUY software on double-sided
disks!   (Are you listening Cinemaware?!?!)
