Is $4 million a month a slump? That is what was said by someone on bix
yesterday. I think it is actually less than the original BusinessLand
projections. Reportedly sales picked up considerably in December.

Is $5000 really alot to ask for 32 bit color with heavy duty
coprocessors? The monitor alone must cost at least $3500.00.  I hope
the $5000 is BusinessLand prices not eduactional prices.
