  Hell, my dad brought me a cutout from the NEW YORK TIMES that announced
Atari had unveiled the Falcon at the Boston Computer show.  It was a UPI 
article (or maybe it was AP... I think actually it was AP) and not very
descriptive, but it was there in the business section!  It was last sunday's
paper.

Could you please describe how such a cable can be made? I'm very interested

How about just releasing the sources to the general public. There sure
would be some hackers out there ready to improve the program. Also,
most PD development happens on a need-to basis. 

If I use a program regularly and find it is missing some feature, I'm
always ready to pull out my trusty compiler and hack at it myself.
This is one reason why I try to stick to programs with available
sources.

Consider the net a large pool of highly competent programmers, and
release the stuff to us, the public.

That's already planned.  For about

Bill, any idea how this driver compares to other Mac drivers
in the area of speed?  I use JetLink Express by GDT and have
been very happy with it, except for its speed when used with
Spectre.  I had occassion to use it on a true-Mac once when my
ST was being repaired and was amazed at how much faster the
printing was...

and why not? you keep ask for "facts" about the Falcon, yet don't offer
any in return. why shouldn't it be able to do the same stuff the
Toaster does? everyone's pretty much admitted that the Toaster's magic
lies in the software. if the Falcon provides most of the same hardware
there's -nothing- keeping it from having software that does the
same stuff the Toaster does. 

jeezus. if this is the way Amiga owners are supposed to act i'm selling

  Maybe they really are thinking of what it could be.  My
understanding is that the memory expansion slot can be used for a host
of really neat things like VRAM and other neat video support (higher
res video, acceleration, etc. ) in addition to ram expansion.  Maybe
they should have put SIMM slots on the ram board like somebody else
will figure out how to do (and still fit).  But I think that the idea
of a memory expansion slot that has extra possibilities over plain ram
expansion is a good idea.

In my days of lusting for a NeXT (before I got a TT) I did read of some software/
hardware gadgets that turned its DSP port into a modem and even a voice ansering
machine.  But these devices were on the order of several hundred $$--I don't know
if that's because they had to be (I doubt it) or if someone was making a nice profit
(but then, if you've bought a NeXT, what's a little more cash?).

The resolution of production quality video is more like 720x480 for NTSC-M

OK, I'll back-off on the severity of my criticism a bit.  You are right, there
are no really _severe_ problems with the Falcon.  As an entry level machine,
it's a dandy, and reasonably priced with the competition (new Amigas and mass
market Macs, in particular).  I wish they had done a few things differently
and I wish they would market it differently as well, but all in all, it appears
to be a great machine for the money.  I just hope it's not too little too late.

Mike, the best suggestion I could possibly give you is to call up the CodeHeads
and ask _them_ if there are any fixes for your Warp 9 problems with your TT.
Since you say you bought it at the Glendale show, I assume you live in
California so give 'em a ring and ask.

Then let us know what you find out.  :)

The other route is to call Bit-Bucket in Newton, pick out what you

tax. They used to have a branch store in Merrimack under a different
name. They may still have that store, so you could pick it up in N.H.

  In a latenight attempt to stave off sleeping, I decided to login to the
cleveland freenet and check out the latest online magazine issues.  Tonight I
opted to read Atari Explorer Online.

  The first 1/5th had the usual coverage of the latest usergroup meetings.
  The middle 2/5th's were a review of Atari magazines, both printed and 
  online; Atari Explorer Online was given 4 stars- one reason being they don't 
  waste excessive space covering non-Atari related information (ala ST Report).
* The final 2/5th's were an extensive statistical analysis of some moronic
* Star Trek survey that had a sample size [on average] of -49- people.

The reviewer bitched about how ST Report spends so much time covering other
industry news.  Personally, that's my favorite part of the magazine.  There 
isn't any point to being insular about the Atari market.  AND YOU COULDN'T BE
EVEN IF YOU WANTED TO, IT'S NOT BIG ENOUGH.


THIS MESSAGE HAS NO POINT, EXCEPT TO BITCH ABOUT THAT FUCKING STAR TREK ARTICLE.

I am a die-hard Atari user.
	AND
The only show I watch on TV is Star Trek.

  But this was one of the most stupid/useless/annoying things I have seen in
quite a while.  If my choice is between this kind of material and information
about the latest breakthroughs in LCD display technology or floptical seek
rates:  I'll take ST Report thank you very much.

Thank you for reading this message.  It has made me feel better to vent my
frustrations..
