This article (which includes that text) wasn't really intended to be sent.
It was the first time I used MICROEMACS-editor, so I must have made
something wrong when the message really did somehow get into rnews. 
I wrote a new one and it is the valid one.

The price comparisons I've are between the Apples and Ataris because
they are very much same technology. I admit that such a 386-system is
quite cheap. 

Atari HAS announced a price for the TT in Germany: 6500DM for a TT with
a 30MB hard-disk and a monochrome VGA-monitor and 2 MB RAM.

I have also read that Atari would announce a TTP in England - cost: 1300
pounds with 1280x960monitor and a 60MEG hard-disk. (This is not as sure
as the German information, though.)

I have also read that atari would announce a version of Unix for about
300 dollars.

I know that Atari supports Europe more than the US. I can imagine why...
