I forgot who said that the TT was "available," but I could not help but
snicker.  I think the poor fellow mentioned something about the machine
being shown at some show and the users raved about it, etc...ad
nauseum.  As I recall, the Atari CD ROM player was also shown to a
wide-eyed and bushy-tailed group of enthusiasts SEVERAL YEARS AGO and
where is it today?  When the product is in a store where I can
see/touch/buy (HAH!) it, then it is available.  Until then it is vapor
hype.  Sure any clever fellow with a bit of money and some brains can
put together a couple of nifty prototypes and show them around and
brag, but production is another matter all together.  I think Atari has
shown their bungling ways long enough.  Some people will just have to
get hit over the head with a 520ST power supply before they see the
light.

It is worth noting, however, that Atari DID produce a nifty little
MS-DOS (albeit DOS 2.1) box for PeeCee lovers and you CAN ACTUALLY
purchase it.  AND they did produce a nifty little handheld vieo game. 
Just goes to show you where their priorities lie.  Hell, if there is
more money to be made by making little gadgets instead of computers
then why waste their time on the ST at all?  It is/was a great
computer, but the lack of support and lagging development has been
dragging the ST line to the technological basement.  Ahhh, but I still
like it for Air Warrior. :-)  Now, off into my ME262 I go.  Wheeee!
