Mainly for UK ST'ers...

I now hear that Atari UK have ordered the TOS1.4 roms from Atari Taiwan, and
that they will be available sometime (but, opinion seems, not soon) for a
price well in excess of 100 quid (cf 100 dollars in the US!).

I have also discovered that Atari UK are the worst company to contact that
I have ever encountered, with a telephonist whose degree of unhelpfulness
plumbs constantly lower depths. "Atari-please-hold..... (25 minutes later I gave
up)". That's if they answer (50% chance). I can quite easily believe that this
bunch of wazzocks are entirely responsible for the non-appearance of TOS 1.4
here.

PS: Ken B. and Allan P., please don't take offence, I realize this has nothing
to do with you or Atari US.
