If Atari is not dropping the Mega line then they are NOT dropping the ST.
Saying 'Mega' is short for saying 'MEGA ST[2/4]'.  The Mega's are just as
much an ST (if not more.. :) than the 520/1040ST.  Is this not like Commodore
dropping the Amiga 1000 for the 500 and 2000?  Or Atari dropping the XL line
for the XE line?   

I have also heard (boy, we hear a lot of rumours on this net!) that Atari
is coming out with a Mega ST1, which will 'replace' the 1040ST.  No, they 
won't make a Mega .5 (to replace the 520.. :) 

Of course, it would be nice if Atari offers 520/1040 owners an upgrade
path to a Mega ST!  But they didn't offer one from the XL -> XE (but here
we are talking about $150 for a new machine as opposed to $1500!). 

Would anyone from Atari care to comment on exactly what is going on?
