I heard about those chips in January, well I'll believe it when I see it! And
from a Software developers view, we had a problem when Atari announced the
GTIA upgrade. We didnt support because not ALL of the machines had them.
Well, I think the Blitter chip is gonna run into the same problem. BTW, I was
in Toys'R'Us yesterday and guess what I saw? Yup, the Atari 520ST piecemeal
system, which really makes sense to sell it that way. The Keyboard was $350,
the disk drive was $250 and the monitor was $300. I suppose a person only
buying the Keyboard has alot of fun ahead of him! Remember, it's now selling
in TOYS'R'US, that should tell you something about the quality of the
computer! Jim
