So how much is this 030 card gonna cost us? It turns out that the 2500 is
cheaper to buy than create from a 2000, I wonder if it will be the same with
the 3000? Cheaper to buy a 3000, or buy a 2000 and the board? I have niether at
the moment. 

I want to get at least a 2000, but I'm waiting for the ECS to come out in the
new machines and 1.4 to be in the roms. Why buy now and have to pay extra for
the 1.4 roms and the ECS? Gives me time to save up the bucks too.

I think I will just hold my breath.......
