[comp.sys.atari.st] Atari bashing etc.

D.C.Halliday@newcastle.ac.uk (D.C. Halliday) (08/03/90)

Would all the Atari bashers out there please be kind enough to refrain
from  your  line  of  discussion.  If  you  do insist please limit the
distribution to the US where the topics may be relevent here in the UK
there are no shortages of dealers or software infact there is probably
more Atari stuff around than for any home mico (yes  including  Amiga,
Mac, Apple 2, C64 etc.) The 32Mhz TT is a reality and will be for sale
in a few weeks. (OK maybe 4 or 5 or ... weeks).

One other thing do you all out there think it is realy fair to compare
a  386  IBM  clone  to an ST? The ST costs 280 pounds and the 386 will
cost about 2800 pounds this price is an order of magnatude different.

In  any  case  I  am  happy with my ST even if there where no dealers,
there is plenty of good PD stuff around from all sources including the
FSF (they officaly support the ST but not the MAC!).

So again please keep US relevent articles to the US.
