Just one question in this discussion...
 
If Atari has such a low opinion of the "end users" who buy their machines,
and can assume that 90% of them only want to run programs, not write them,
why has Atari traditionally supplied a   *programming language*   with the
computers..?
 
In fact, my ST came with  *two*  programming languages...
