  Well, another Christmas has passed and that means that lots of boys and girls
were happy to find an Atari under thier tree.  I didn't get one (another that
is).  But anyways,  'twas on Boxing day that my (now famous) Toronto Atari
dealer put on sale some STE's.  The price was $1200 (CDN).  I assume that is
fair since you got a 1040STE and a colour monitor in the deal.  Regardless, the
seven he had on hand sold in the first twenty minutes he was open, and he took
cash deposits on, wait for it, thirty-plus more.  Not a bad day sales wise I
should think.  The manager informed me that he had been selling off the old 520 
and 1040 stock for about the last month, and hadn't anticipated the demand. 
Life goes on...
