Why do I want a TT? Why do I complain? Because my livelihood depends on it. I am about to take on another major scoring job- full symphony/4 movements that needs to be delivered in January. Unfortunately, the graphics of the ST is mighty slow when you start shifting a full score around on the screen. This leads to mistakes if not a heart attack due to frustration. I really want a fast 030. Buy a MAC? no way... the ATARI software is better. So I have to relegate myself to the ST... I have been holding off buying a Mega for a long time.. thinking the TT was just around the corner. I don't know why i thought that... perhaps its just a good marketing plan on the part of ATARi... get as many megas off the shelf for the OLD price before we introduce the TT... If the MAC had an ATARI emulator, I'd use NOTATOR on the MAC.. Some of us own a machine for its SOFTWARE. -kevin Anybody interested in unloading their Mega4ST/SLM804 (or HP) please let me know... i may need it next week. ramsiri@blake.acs.washington.edu

The most cost-effective way to go is a Mega4 and SLM804 laser, and the SM194 (?) big screen monitor. There's a PD graphics accelerator, and combined with the Blitter, it makes word processing with GDOS faster (for me). The TT is a fine machine, but doesn't cost twice as much as the 4Mb laser system? If cost is not a problem, call an English Atari store, and order one. (By the way, I know what you mean about scoring, I used to be a music major, and we used to have to do our projects by hand, and with india ink...)
