The folks from Atari ST visited a general meeting of the Boston Computer
Society several weeks ago.  They didn't have any software with them but
said they had just "forgotten" to or didn't have enough time to get any.
All they showed was the GEM interface and their version of the finder.  The
guy speaking for Atari said that a lot of software was being developed,
though, and that several development systems of the ST had been delivered
that day.  Just a few minutes ago, I heard on the Computer Chronicles that
Atari showed off its ST at a German trade show recently and STILL didn't
have any software.  However, at the BCS meeting, there was another speaker
from a software house who said that they were developing software for
computers running the GEM system.  People aren't developing fast enough, I
suppose.

By the way, the guy who spoke for Atari at BCS was very rude.  He put down
the Mac every opportunity he had and lied a couple of times about it,
saying such things as Apple's finder MUST be on a disk or the disk won't
boot, that you MUST go back to the finder in between applications, etc.  He
then cut off anyone who tried to correct him, saying he wasn't there to
talk about the Mac.  Not very good behaviour, considering that almost half
of the people there were from the Mac subgroup of the BCS.
