Before we have an Amiga vs. Atari ST flamewar, I have to know - is everybody on this thread an American?  

See, Atari's slogan (at least here in the USA) back in 1985 was:

America: We built it for you!

I'm not sure if they meant the United States of America, North America, or the Americas in general. But given the popularity of the ST in Europe, I always wondered - what was Atari's slogan overseas?  Did they say:

Europe: We built it for you!
or did they say: We tell the Americans that we built it for them, but hey Europe, just between you and me, we actually built if four you.  Promise not to tell.

All I'm saying is I don't want to get into another gloabal ST vs Amiga flamewar until I know if we are debating "built for America STs" vs Amiga, "built for Europe STs" vs Amiga, or "some other kind of STs" vs Amigas.

What flamewar, where?
---------------------------------------------------

I think there might be a law somewhere that Atari ST users and Amiga users have to fight whenever possible.  

They're supposed to be natural enemies, like dogs and cats, Linux and Windows, PS2 and Xbox, 3DO and Jaguar...

I miss the Jaguar.  Atari had a lot of folks absolutely conviced that Jag was a 64-bit system (adding the 68000 CPU and 16-bit co-processors)

and yes... I'm just trying to pad my posting stats.
