[comp.sys.atari.st] Couldn't Atari take over the education market?

Since it seems that Apple is ready to drop the // line and push Mac onto 
the schools to replace them, I think now is the time for Atari to pounce on 
the education market.

The only requirement would be to construct a Apple //e emulation cartridge, 
like Spectre, but put a 6502 on board and have the user purchase the 
Applesoft ROMS somewhere else. (I heard that they are going for $20 a set 
now!) Be able to read write 3.5 PRODOS disks, and have the ability to hook 
up a 5.25 Apple drive. I believe schools would eat this up! They would be 
able to buy 3 STEs for the price of one Mac LC.

What are your thoughts?
