Hi guys, I'm obviously very late to the game but I would love to get more  
information about your personal experiences with the Atari ST line in  
particular. My first computer was a TI944A and then I got an IBM PS/1 286  
in 1991. Ever since, I've wondered whether I would have enjoyed having  
purchased an Atari ST, an Amiga or even a Mac instead as my first real  
computer. I know of Atari's history and especially realize that they  
banked the whole company on the success of the Jaguar (which never  
happened) but I'm curious what you guys think _should_ have happened,  
especially since the Atari Falcon seemed like a pretty decent computer,  
the operating system seemed to have evolved quite well and, as far as I  
know, Atari still had a lot of money in the bank to continue a computer  
hardware business had they chosen to do so back then.
