Just for your info, the A3000 25mhz,68882 machine RETAILS for $3995.
That is only slightly higher than the price quoted for the TT.  As
noted earlier, the price is $3000 with a educaitonal discount.
I think I wouldn't mind paying a little extra for the better math
coprocessor, faster bus, and faster 68030.

I think many Atari and Amiga owners read both groups since the machines
are very similar, I suspect they both attract the same crowd.  I know
a few people who have both machines.
