Golly... I just played with a NExT computer at a local "computer swap meet"..
 
BusinessLand was exhibiting them to a large crowd... guess what the Atari
Corp representation was..??  
 
One local Atari users' group had a booth, and one local dealer had an ST
for sale, not running, not on display.. (the Amigas took all the room)
 
Hard to make a comparison between the NExt, which is available NOW, on sale
at locations across the USA, and the various Atari vapor systems which are
still only seen at closed trade shows.
