On the subject of all this TT controversy, I've finally decided to add my 12 1/2 cents. Yeah Atari has been a glorious band of idiots ever since the 1040ST but even if it takes them another 6 months to get it out, the TT is an INCREDIBLE machine for the price. A comparably equipped 68030 Amiga will run you $4500 (Hint, buy a a MAC II for $500 more with hard drive). I am very disappointed in its graphic capabilities, but sheesh, the base computer will onyl be around $1500. This guarantees its survival as this is just as incredible as the ST when it came out. Even with Commodore's huge advertising blitz, the junkola Amiga 500 with 512K of memory is being pushed for $100 less than a 1040ST with monitor. I know what I'd buy.... Now before I get Commodore flamed, I LIKE THE AMIGA ! However, the 500 is garbage, the 520ST of the Amiga line, only slightly worse (I use a 2000 myself). Oh well, I have spoken my bit.....
