I think Jack Trameil (sp?) has been given a lot of undeserved
credit for the ST line.  Considering the short time between his
purchase of Atari and the announcement of the ST line it's clear
that most of the developement occured before he got on the scene.

Whatever he has contributed has been on the business side.  By
dumping the 800XLs at Xmas time he made a lot of us very happy
and raised some cash to make a go of the ST.  But he has been
unsuccessful at generating much interest in any of the software
houses for developing stuff for the ST.  If the ST has to wait
as long as the Macintosh did for software it won't be long
before the only Atari one can buy is a used one.

He may be making the most of a bad situation, but he hasn't won
the war yet.

You are correct in assuming that Mr. Trameil has been given a lot of undeserved 
credit for the ST; but you are incorrect in assuming that the product was 
underway before he arrived.  The people who deserve the credit are the Atari
engineers who slaved away at the product to produce samples in the short time 
span given.
