I saw the ATW at SIGGRAPH in Boston the other day, and asked about
pricing and US availability.  I was told that the price would be in
the 5000 to 8000 range.  At the time, I thought the fellow was talking

He also said that Atari was shooting for US release in December, with
limited distribution (1000/month) through "selected dealers."
