Has anyone out there actually been able to get their hands on a 1040ST yet?
Our friendly neighborhood computer store has been saying they'll be in
"next week" for about a month now and I'm starting to wonder if the 1040
is a figment of somebody's imagination.....

I just asked Applied Computer Associates (in Gaithersburg, MD, a Wash. DC
suburb) about the 1040ST and they also said "middle of next month".

Incidentally, they are a very serious Atari dealer, with lots of software and
accessories for both the ST machines and the XLs.  They can be reached
at:

	PHONE:  (800)-4-ATARIS (428-2747)
		(301) 948-0256

	MAIL:   Applied Computer Associates
		16220 Frederick Road
		Gaithersburg, MD 20877

In particular, they have some of the harder-to-find Atari books in stock.

The latest thing I've heard is that there hasn't been a single 1040
sent over from Japan yet.  When they do get here (about a week, I
was told), they'll probably spend a week in Atari's QA department
for testing and then be shipped.  There will be only 4 (!) distributors
for 1040s in the US.  So the bottom line from my dealer is that it
will be about three more weeks before I see my 1040.  *sigh*
