 You might have to charge a little more than that:-).
But you should think that to run X on an Amiga it will cost you near
10,000$ to have something correct!
And if people are looking at prices around for a computer having X,Ethernet,
VM,HD,Good GFX etc. The amiga wont be in the first place, and the power/price
will not make up!
 First draw back is in GFX, even a 2500 with a flicker fixer and 19" monitor
will only have a max of 640x400, You should be able to open around window
of that size without overlaping...
 Memory, a 2500 is limited to 4 meg?isnt it? And if you need 3 meg that left
1 to the user! and if they remap ROM it will be a joke.
 All I want to say is, you project is GREAT but it wont push people how want
X to get an Amiga for the job.If they are not using the amiga itself they
wont find X atrective runing on an amiga.
 But if there is a A3000 it shouldnt be without it!
