Sigh... Greg Lindahl says, about Atari forcing customers into deadend
machines..
 
>You are obviously wrong on 2 counts:

>1) Then Atari would have not put SIMMs onto the STE
 
Wake up, Greg... Atari made the changes to the Mega ST2, to enforce their
policy of non-expandability something like *TWO YEARS* ago..
 
Putting SIMMs into STEs has nothing to do with a business decision made
that long ago (and incidentally won't help Mega owners at all).
 
>Leave your silly conspiracy theories at home.
 
Did I call it a "conspiracy"..?   I call it "business"... Atari's way of
enforcing their brand of short-term greed on their customer base. Their
stated policy on memory upgrading makes it clear why they did it.
 
Again, maybe the use of SIMMs in *new* products heralds a new era in Atari/
customer relations...    we'll see...
