I see nothing wrong with posting "ST for sale" messages in the 8bit section. While I do not encourage it (all computers "for sale" should *logically* (big smiley here! 8-D) be posted to the specific "computers for sale" area), I do see the sense in posting a ST ad in the 8bit section. As Ordania-DM@cup.portal.com pointed out very clearly, the ST is the logical upgrade from the 8bit. This is why I agree that the ST ad should not be blasted for appearing here.

The smart upgrade (for the average 8-bit user) is an IBM compatible (great value at a great price with great support). The few remaining 8-bit users tend to be die-hards, like the TI99, and ADAM groups are. > >Bryan_Jones_Woodworth@cup.portal.com Charles_K_Hughes@cup.portal.com
