[comp.sys.atari.st] What am I getting into here.

MV010320@NDSUVM1.BITNET (09/25/90)

Okay here's my situation. I've got the chance to get and Atari 520st in
Mint condition with two 3.5 drives for $150 from someone who has no use for
it.  My question is, is this a wise move on my part to purchase this thing
I mean what is our there for software and hardware these days.  Is there
much of a future for this thing or is the ST on it's way out the door?
Is the St in itself or through peripherals or software compatible with
anything or is it in a world by itself.  Basically I know very little about
the ST and would like to know a few things good or bad about the machine
before I go purchasing it.
                                              Thanks,

                                              Thomas
