Ok, now weill I didn't go to the WAACE Atari fest last weekend, I heard that
the STacy on display at the show was the same old prototype that Atari has
been showing for months!! It wasn't even a production model.

So, its VaporWare until I can buy it at my dealer!!!

P.S. so, where was the TT, 1040STe, CD ROMs, PC DITTO II?? Did Atari
have the TOS 1.4 EPROMs for sell at the show?? Did Atari, the company,
show anything NEW at the show??

Nope. I thought not.

I, for one, am just waiting for Jim Allen to develope his 68030 board for the
Mega ST. I hear that he might even add more memory to it. And maybe better
color graphics!! Heck, maybe Jim Allen (designer of that wonderful product
Turbo16!!) can do what Atari has failed to do: 
	Design a 68030 computer and market it!!!

I heard that Jim Allen was at the WAACE show. Did anyone talk to Jim??
