there aren't any ads in Phoenix either. None in the Sunday Phoenix
Business section. In fact, Computer Works runs a small ad, by themseleves,
but it mentions only the Commodore Amiga and not the Atari ST. So, unless
you knew that CW Sells Atari stuff, you wouldn't even stop by their store.

Has *ANYONE* out there in NEtland SEEN a Real Live AD for the ST, either
on TV or in print?

Just curious.
