I logged on this morning to find a pleasant boxful of flames about my
previous post.  The overwhelming argument was "Gee, why I could buy 2
TT's for the price of one Mac IIcx [nobody touched the subject of my
post...the fact that 80386 25mhz machines are comparable in price]...ad
nauseum....


Well, sure!  That lil' TT will save you tons of money!  As a matter of
fact, you won't have to spend a dime on it cause you'll probably never
see it.  Now that's what I call a bargain.  Hehe, you could put that
2.5K in the bank and earn interest.  (Gee, Atari is actually doing us
all a favor...How nice of them :-))  This whole argument for the
cheapness aspect of the TT is like saying "Hey, why should I waste my
money on a Corvette now, when I hear through the grapevine that Hyundai
is working on this new nifty sportscar?  Of course, I've never seen one
and the company only produces cheap cars now with little or no support.
 What the hell, sounds like a bargain to me?"  

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, JoShmoe can buy a 25mhz 386 box with
super VGA, hard disk and all the niceties (yes, even unix) for about
3-3K.  AND he can buy it NOW when he needs it.  <If you don't actually
NEED the power, you might as well wait for the <snicker> TT>.

p.s.  If this sounds like Atari bashing <grin>, I guess it is.
