I hate to say this but people from Atari have been ranting as to how
THERE ARE NO NEW ROMS and BE PATIENT. <<NOW>> we find out that this
was (to put it mildly) totally untrue. The only question is whether
or not Atari will decide to care about current owners of the ST.

"Let me make one thing perfectly clear": and I hope I'm not the only
one that says this: I'd love to buy new stuff from Atari such as the
laser printer BUT I need to have "a warm, fuzzy feeling" that Atari
will not treat us like dirt once we buy something - this means supporting
and upgrading existing owners of your hardware.

I'm also posting this to the net in the hopes that others will mail
you directly, filling up your mailbox, and changing what appears to
me gross insensitivity to existing owners. The timing of ROM upgrades
is one thing - the 'maybe we won't upgrade existing owners' is 
something different.

You do want existing ST owners to buy more hardware don't you (sarcastic :-).
