And what's this I hear about NO SOURCE COMPATABILITY WITH UNIX on the ABAQ?? If the machine's so hot, it should have a superset of the standard unix function library. Without "instant" systems that are upgradeable, atari will not win customers. Nowadays, people expect a machine to come with software, especially $2000+ systems.
