I similarly
have an great affection for the Atari ST. The OS was
all in ram and
despite all the criticisms of TOS and the underlying GEM , it was a pretty
remarkable system for it's time. Just too bad it had the 4meg limitation and
that the Tramiels were in charge.
Is Jack still alive? I've often wondered who did a worse job
running their respective companies...he or Irving Gould at Commodore.
Yeah, supposedly he's still around. I liked seeing STs in the local Guitar
Center for many years, even though I was never very fluent with them. But of
course Jack's fifteen minutes were up with the C64.
