down in Texas (no Atari, don't jump on him--he's not selling (or rather, going
to sell) Megas mail-order. I was down in Texas this summer, and walked right
in to the store, ready to buy. In fact I came back several times... but the
Megas never came.... (of course, we all know that). He said he'd ship it to
me) seems to think they won't be available until after the 9th, and that Mega
2's are supposed to ship first. Of course now, they've appeared in Cupertino,
but they're Mega 4's. Is there any chance that some distributor went and got
them from Canada/Europe (hence the high price...?). Do these machines have
blitters in them? Are any Mega 2's being sold? (Let me guess, Atari decided
to drop the Mega 2's just like the Mega 1's....)
Waiting anxiously for news,
Scott Udell

My dealer The Megas were for sale at two dealers I know of: Home Computing Centers in San Bruno, and Access to Software in San Francisco. Atari was at a show in Tanforan Mall (where Home Computing is, the show was sponsored by Home Computing) and brought along Megas to show. They were being sold at both dealers that day. > but they're Mega 4's. Is there any chance that some distributor went and got > them from Canada/Europe (hence the high price...?).

(They WERE called STs, by the way...) The new monitors are for sale with them (SC1224 type 4?). And they all had blitters. Hope this answered some questions!
