I have read and heard that the Diamond graphical environment cartridge (for the 8-bit Atari computers) has been shipped in small quantities (several hundred). Does anyone know if the GOE cartridge (from Total Control Systems, that is, David Sullivan) has been shipped to anyone yet? (Do any reviewers, etc. have it? My impression, from reading various reviews and articles on these two competing graphical environment systems, is that GOE _may_ turn out to be superior to Diamond, if Sullivan could just get it out the door!) I know that in the Feb. [correct month?] issue of Atari Interface Magazine (formerly Michigan Atari Magazine), there is a full-page ad for GOE. (No, I didn't read it, I "talked" on-line with Pattie what's-her-name of Unicorn Publishing.) I am supposedly on TCS's mailing list, which means I may get some info about GOE soon, if it has shipped. But, does ANYONE actually have one (even as a review copy)? If so, I (and the members of my local user group) would like to hear anything you can tell us about your impression of GOE. (Or tell us what issue of what mag. your review will be published in and we'll _buy_ it!)
