I didn't realise Atari had come out with an O/S for the ST. Last time I
looked it just had a program loader and graphics library.

Wasn't it a developers joke:

"Why do they call it TOS?
 Because it is the first thing that you do with the OS. TOSs it!"

Not like game types don't do the same on the Amiga tho :-(

What does the Atari ST come with? I thought the Apple lawyers went after them
once upon a time. I have not kept up with the STs, except seeing the Megas in
the DFP, but those ads are now harder to find than Commodores. Everyplace that
sold the ST's here bailed, at least the places I go to on any irregular
basis...I read comp.sys.atari.st from time to time but don't see much good
stuff going on there, except HD discussions and maybe people asking how to
know if they had a blitter...and "Where can I find a TT in the states."
To be fair, for awhile I though there wasn't anything good to read in
c.s.a.programmer when they had that giant flame war over to kill or not to
kill the OS to program your favorate game(mainly Lemmings I believe).
