[net.micro.atari16] Where are the 1040ST's

wolenty@inuxj.UUCP (R Wolenty) (02/27/86)

I've been faithfully calling Atari dealers for about 3 weeks now
trying to find a 1040ST.  I get the same story every week -
Atari has delayed the shipment, but they're supposed to ship
NEXT week.  So what's the scoop here - do 1040ST's really exist
or am I just being string along???

my local dealer just informed me that he had 20 1040's in stock but
that they were going fast ! since i believe in the non-commercial
nature of the net i won't mention any names, but if you were to
send me email.....

They are on the way.  We started to ship within the past week.  The first
batch was delayed because (and you'll never believe this one) the airplane
made a stopover in the Phillipines.  A LOOONG stopover.

The first load is completely spoken for, but several more boatloads are
expected soon.  So tell your dealers to get their orders in place!
