Distribution:



	Has everyone seen page 34 of Tuesday's New York Times?
	"Last week Atari said it was pulling its new 520 ST out of computer
retail stores, where it fared poorly, and was moving it to mass-market
channels.
	At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nev., later this
week, Atari is expected to introduce a new more powerful version of the 
computer for the computer speciality stores."
	Even gloomier comments are made about the Amiga's sales:
	"They would have been lucky to get rid of 35,000."
	"What crippled Amiga sales...."
	etc.
