Atari just revealed it's new graphics workstation called the TT30, which is based on a 68030, and costs under 3,000 bucks. Just thought you all would like to know, the competition is STILL TRYING! and I stress TRYING! Chris

As I recall, it's been selling overseas...maybe some of our European friends can tell us mroe about that. Is it selling in the US now? It's suppose to be a pretty good machine, I'd heard that it has a Unix/TOS operating system. If only it wasn't being made by Atari. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=That is not dead which may eternal lie-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= * Christoper Roth * "Machines have no * InterNet : cr1@beach.cis.ufl.edu * Conscience..." =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=Yet with strange eons even death may die-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

But there is already heavy discussion about this device on the FIDO net (Germany) among users of that system, so there must exist already some. The UNIX version is not yet out, as far as I know. -- Best regards, Dr. Peter Kittel // E-Mail to \\ Only my personal opinions...

If anybody plans to buy a TT for running Unix on it - forget it ! I've seen it in October at the Orgatec in Cologne, and it is SLOW ! They had a TT with 8 Megs running X, and it was almost slower than Amiga Unix running X. With 4 Megs Ram ! (people that know X know what that means - SWAP SWAP SWAP SWAP ...). Every time that guy moved a window, the whole thing would almost stop, and you could see it re-build the window and contents. Funny, but I didn't see such a behavior on an A3000 w/8Megs of Ram...
