I love my ST because it will run Calamus, which saves several hours
every week for my spouse and me over other DTP packages. I wish that
it had a lot of things that it does not, and as a hacker, I'd switch
to a Sun in a second if I could afford it. I also find 4 megs too
crowded.
Microsoft produces MSDOS, not IBM. Same with Windows. DRI produces
their GEM, and companies other than IBM produce the best IBM-compatible
computers. Who cares if Atari does not new software stuff (like the
Postscript clone) for the ST, as long as someone does?
And if other people stop supporting the ST, I stop using it.
