Oh, there was a lot of WTF on the ST.  For example, why did the 400 
and 800 have pretty decent keyboards, yet the more-expensive-and-
powerful ST have such an abomination for a keyboard?  I added springs 
to the keyboard to make it halfway operable, but I hated it every 
second I had to use it.

The software was pretty good.  Did you ever use Magic Sac to emulate 
a Mac?  That was a pretty neat idea.

Cheers,
Chuck
