Humm,  4.1?  Well you better add another 4m of memory to the 3/80

But it's only b/w ? The Amiga supports color without any extra hardware.
Can the 3/80 support color, even with an extra board? The 3/50 is out
of the question. Now when I get this 3/80 I just have to plug it in
and it comes up? Woops, I need a fileserver some where, or atleast
a 150mbyte scsi disk. Not needed for the Amiga. At most a local 20meg
disk is just fine, but you can run on a single floppy system with a
single boot up floppy containing server and a few X11 files to get going.

		Let's talk real world prices and not NSF discounts, for
	me to get one to work on I now need to get an NSF grant?
