What do YOU own.  I'll bet it's 1) more expensive or 2) less powerfull
or 3) another "toy" computer.
 
Sorry.. .my computer of choice, out of the 14 or so that I own, is my 
Atari 520ST...
 
It's (painfully) upgraded to 1 Meg of RAM, and running 20 Megs of hard
disk. It's far more useful to me than any of the other brands of
computers I own.  What we have to do is distinguish between the computer
itself and the company that produces it.
 
Atari Corp doesn't seem to be able to realize what a powerful computer they
have in the ST.  Instead, they run off in all directions, trying to sell
toy IBM compatible (somewhat compatible) "computers", and promoting
unavailable handheld "video games" ...  do either of these activities
benefit  _you_..?
 
I'm glad you decided to make your opinions known.  Maybe if more Atari
owners would make their feelings known, Atari Corp would deal more
honestly with _all_ of us...
