Like it or not, the people WILL get TOS 1.4.  If Atari doesn't want to
sell them, people will burn them.  The source code is readily available
and has been for months now.  Toad COmputers in Maryland is offering the
real McCoy for $80/set (not including installation) and my dealer told
me more on order.  By personal belief is that the DTP story is being
blown out of proportion.  It probably is the case that Atari doesn't have
100,000's of TOS 1.4 ROMs and is using this system as a means to dsitribute
what they have, makes more sense than continuing to keep them off the
market.  Remember that Portfolia has been announced as SHIPPING and
I'm sure that has priority right now (heck, it pushed the stock up from
$6 to $12!)  (Thats Portfolio...fingers faster than the eyes...)
