    Look, you certainly weren't complaining when you found out that certain
Mega ST2's actually already had 4 Mbytes of RAM, so why are you complaining
when certain Mega ST2's are locked at 2 Mbytes?  I personally don't recall
internal memory expansion being an advertised option on any of the Mega ST
computers.  And there are real world problems which can crop up and leave
Atari stuck with strange components which make it impossible to make those
upgradable Mega ST2's.  So stop hassling Ken B., who has no responsibility
for any of this, and find something better to do.

    Thanks.
