Hey! What about an 80386 system? You can get a VGA 4Mb sytem with *awesome*
UNIX(TM) System V for less than $4K -with- disk. A 1Mb MSDOS VGA system can
come in under $3K -with- disk.

With this in mind and the "Power without the price" motto, I would expect
the TT to come in below $2K -without- disk (hey - what's the current price
of a Mega 2?).
