/* Written 12:24 am Jan 16, 1986 by MRC%PANDA@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA in net.micro.atari */ A $400 computer is a toy. A $400 computer that costs $800 is an expensive toy. /* End of text from net.micro.atari */ Would you buy the ST at a store that bought them for $400 and sold them to you for $2000 in a fancy plush room with Windham Hill music piped in? (Of course not, because you know the hoi polloi can get them for $400...but what if you didn't know?) It is function that determines toy status, not price--unless you're of the sort that judges quality by price. James Jones
