Hi people

	I would like to know a bit more about the STACY computer of ATARI Corp.
	As far as I know it has the following features :

	1 Meg to 4 Meg memory
	Good LCD screen
	Good keyboard with 'Mega touch'
	Trackball or external mouse if wanted (selectable by a switch)
	All 1040 interfaces ( Use of external video is possible )
	Floppy 720K
	May have internal hard disk (20 M or 40 M) 28ms of access time
	TOS 1.4
	Built-in Clock

	GCR is perfectly running on it , BTW it makes a not very expensive 
	portable MAC. 

	It seems quite good to me , what do you think of it ??
	Is there any features that I have forgotten , or am I wrong on
	some of them ?

	I still have other questions:

		- Is there a blitter ? if not , is it possible to add one.
		- Is the 1Meg model upgradable to 4Meg ?
		- Is the LCD screen fast enough for games or text scrolling ?
		- Prices ?

Since I may want to buy one , I would like to know your opinions ...
Thanks for your answers in this group.
