To which Commodore Clifford replies...

Well, that kind of is like apples and oranges to some people.  I think we
covered that before, but a lot of people don't consider the ST's to be
"true" Ataris. (I mean, I do, but...)  Either way, it's comparing a C64
to an Amiga.

As to the 400 being more of a console with a keyboard, actually... The
5200 and the 400 have a lot in common (to the point where some would say
the 5200 is almost a 400 without a keyboard).
