In a previous article it was mentioned that Atari has
been ignored by the press and part of the reason being that Atari 
was not "giving" machines/info that they should.

I strongly disagree. I believe that we have seen two very 
different ways to market a machine as shown by the Amiga
and the 520ST. Commodore went to all of this hullabalo and 
general hype -- WHERE IS THE MACHINE? On the other hand,
Atari didn't say anything UNTIL THE MACHINES HAD BEEN shipped.

Speaking of Byte, look in the next few issues -- GUARANTEED an 
in-depth look at the Atari 520ST. Other magazines? Compute!, Creative 
Computing, Personal Computing, Family Computing,
Infoworld, Computer Shoppers...
this list goes on. Well done ol' chap!

On another note: the people who brought you "Printworks" and "Set FX+",
Robert and Mary McDowell from SoftStyle (a Honolulu based company)
came into the store today to get some software from us -- "Mudpies" and some
demos... they also have the developer's
kit and are developing software for the 520ST. 

Excitement in paradise,

Aloha,
