Yesterday, I went to my favorite local Atari store here in San Diego. Only it wasn't an Atari store anymore. After searching behind all the Commodore Amigas and PC clones I finally found a lonely Mega ST. All Commodores were busily running demo programs. The ST looked like a nice spider motel. Getting to the point. This used to be an all Atari store -- back when I bought my ST in 1985 -- Which makes me ask the question, "WHAT HAPPENED?" I like my ST but I am getting worried about the prospect of not having a dealer in town (San Diego is a fairly big town). How can Atari expect to survive selling a machine that computer sales people have a hard time getting excited about? Unless the STE and the TT come out real soon there isn't going to be any support for Atari computers. Not Atari bashing -- just commenting nervously... MM
