[comp.sys.atari.st] Should I purchase a NEW 1O4OSTE or a USED 1O4OST?

Metalist@cup.portal.com (Bryan Jones Woodworth) (07/03/90)

I have a dilemma.  I do not know if I should purchase a Used 1o4oST color 
system or a NEW 1o4oSTe color system.

Money is no object, since I can afford either alternative.  However, I am
beginning to consider whether the STe is really such a bargain.

Many used 1o4oST color systems can be had where I live for $4oo.  A brand
new 1o4oSTe color system will cost me close to $1OOO.

I would not mind getting the brand-new 1O4OSTe color system.  In fact, this
is what I wish to purchase.  However:  I need to know, does anyone know how
much longer the Atari ST series will be in existence?

If the STs survive another 5 years, I will definitely go for the brand-new
1O4OSTE.  Yet, if the STs will not survive much longer, I think it would be
wiser for me to purhase a used 1O4OST and start saving up for a TT.
If anyone can help me with my decision, please send me mail to the address
located at the end of this letter.

Your help is much appreciated.

Thank you,
