	Ok all you Atari ST watchers... according to this article,
	the smaller models will have 256K RAM and GEM & TOS built into
	ROM, and the ST520 will have 512K but GEM & TOS will *not*
	be in rom, giving a 256K of usable RAM on the ST520 (after
	GEM & TOS are loaded).  So... what is the difference between
	buying the smaller model or the larger model?  It seems as if
	they both ultimately have the same amount of usable RAM!  I
	am not referring to updates to the 520ST where GEM & TOS will
	be built in, but rather to the machines available now (or soon).
	Why buy the present 520 over the present 260?
