I was one of those Atari enthusiasts that bought the 800 when it cost a bundle. I have never regretted it since! It was a landmark machine in graphics (price/performance) and in operating system software. But as we all know, the designers of that system left Atari. Instead of a second generation of graphics architecture and obvious computer group upgrades in processing power, memory, and mass storage, Atari merely repackaged the same product a few times (many of them unsuccessful). They didn't even bother to increase players and missles and playfields. When Jack T. revived Atari, I once again hoped that new architectual advances might happen (special graphics processors, etc.) Although I presently own neither an ST or an Amiga, it sure looks to me, from the technical descriptions I have read, that the only thing "Atari" about the ST is its name. The Amiga, I believe, is the "Atari" that I'm looking for. If this is really the situation, I suspect that this newsgroup will change its name. Anybody agree/disagree ?? -- Pete Williamson "By hook or by crook, we will !!" ... #2
