   So you now have a 1040 - right? Bit of trivia that few care about any longer -   
   the ST series was designed at Commodore and Jack Tramiel brought it along when   
   he scarpered from there and landed at Atari. OTOH, the Amiga (a *much* better   
   computer IMO) was an Atari design to start with. Amazing.
