Anthony Lapadula states: >(1) I do resent being told in late '85 that my 1040ST would indeed >be able to use the Blitter, which, of course, was due out RSN. Don't >know if I should blame my dealer or Atari, but the example stands. Your dealer has nothing to do with the lies Atari tell you.. if they don't ship him the products they have promised you, he can't sell them to you... Sam Tramiel, President of Atari Corp promised, on a TV show called something like "the Computer Show" that all STs would have a blitter upgrade made available... something like a year later, Atari finally admitted the lie, and made the excuse that the FCC wouldn't let them do it... You've simply been the victim of believing the Atari lie... how many times will they sucker you in..? BobR
