	No, and no, and no.  It was Gadgets by Small's Stacy, not Atari's.
Whether or not it is a production model or not I can't tell you.

	Dealers had the TOS 1.4 EPROMs for sale at the show.  Atari has
already stated that all TOS 1.4 ROMs will be sold through dealers, so
it's no use asking if Atari had TOS 1.4 EPROMs for sale.

	PC Ditto II was not shown because of scheduling problems.
PC Ditto II is not SHIPPING because it's not ready yet -- it's waiting
on a cable assembly which will make it simpler to install.

	The TT, 1040STe, and the CD-ROM were not shown.  If they had,
no doubt you would still be complaining about vaporware.  Just as well
they didn't, eh, so you could be justified . . .

	I wasn't there long enough to address any of your other
questions, so I won't include them.  Sorry.
