IMHO, 1040ST is basically just a game machine, and for that you need the color monitor. Most of the good new DTP,CADD, etc. require as much memory (both RAM and hard disk) as you can afford, and for that you are better off just buying a Mega ST2 or ST4. Also, his software prices are too high. We had a software swap this Spring at local Atari club and most people sold ST software at 40 cents to the dollar. The most that I would be willing to pay for a USED monochrome 1040ST would be $400, and I did that last year!! A color 1040ST would be worth maybe $550 to me. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Richard (gtephx!covertr) Covert
