I think that the 8 bits can be brought back to a point of viability but
not much more. Nintendo showed that their can still be a workable 8 bit
market.

But, you know technology is on your back when dedicated game machines are
16 bit.

I dont own an ST yet, And dont know if I ever will now that Ive been
saddled with an IBM compat and the IBM compat market is really just
starting to exploit the capability of these marvelous 16\32 bit machines.

I worshiped by 8bit Atari and would trade my 386 in an instant for the
days of Ataris.  I hope Atari gets their marketing together and storms the
home market again.
