[comp.sys.atari.st] ATW and Stacy 4

D.C.Halliday@newcastle.ac.uk (D.C. Halliday) (12/13/89)

     I  notice  that  a  number  of  US netters still think the ATW is
vapourware, it is *NOT* I have seen many working machines. The ATW  is
very  powerfull  with  great  graphics but is of as expected expencive
(exact cost eludes me.)

     On  to  another  subject  the  Stacy. A few people have asked for
comments on the this machine. Firstly the back lit screen is  easy  to
read although the screen update times are a little slow, and compaires
well  with  the very expencive apple mac protable. Secondly on a lower
note it is reported that the battery life is short...  VERY  short  on
hard  drive  modles.  ST  world  have  just  done a full review if you
require more details.

	Oh jesus, how many people are going to take their (is it STACY
	or STACEY) out on a picnic to do some page layout under the
	ol' oak tree?  I think (in my cocky opinion) that most people
	want the STACY so they can port it from one place to another
	w/o all the schmabang of crap that comes with a normal ST...

	I suppose I could be wrong...

	NAH!

STACY.  At least, that's what it says on the machines I've seen at a
computer show and in the reviews in the computer press here.

Maybe Atari are saving the 'E' for the 'enhanced' version.   :-)
