I do NOT mean to offend anyone by talking about 386 boxes...
but I can't believe I am the only one sitting anxiously
waiting for the much-too-long awaited USA announcement of the TT.
Of course, I KNOW i am not.  

Opposite the Portfolio ad I saw this morning, there was an ad for
the following:

80386   (NOT the "SX")
25Mhz
1MB RAM (expandable to 8 MBytes)
1.2 MB floppy
101 Enhanced keyboard
Serial and Parallel ports
VGA color monitor and card
8 expansion slots ( 1 x 32 ; 5 X 16 ; 2 x 8 )
60 MB 32ms Hard Drive


Price: $1995.00   (delivery:  3 days)

Granted, it doesn't run TOS 1.4 ...   but it EXISTS!

Thinking I might keep the ol' ST in the basement studio and
put a 25Mhz Unix box in my office.

Unless, of course, ATARI offers the TT at a price I can't refuse!

No flame against ATARI... just a hanging around a few moments longer
for THE ANNOUNCEMENT before I move on....
