Available? Yes. Expensive? YES! For a $500 system $300 for an os(only) is
expensive. Languages packaged as 3 for $600 is stiff also. Although $200
a piece is not that bad you can't get them seperately!
TLM is being irrational. If they priced it at 100 dollars with a language
they could sell 1 copy per ST sold. (which would be a better profit than
there sales to 15% of the ST owners.)
