Much of this has to do with the dealer.  One dealer here
took prepaid orders of many times their agreed on allocation
schedule.

Other dealers have been taking no back-orders and are still selling
them as they come in.

The dealer that took the back-orders was trying to corner the local
market (which would be easy to do here).  Atari has had the wisdom
to protect the supply to other dealers.  Without that protection,
the ST's would ONLY be available mail-order.  Not the best choice.
