Hey this one slipped in on us didn't it? I don't remember anyone mentioning
that CBM was going to release a 1500. I remember some speculation that
there was a need for a computer in between the 500 and 2000, but that was
all.

Can someone in the know tell us more about this beast? Is it just in the
UK? What is the difference between it and the 2000? What's its purpose?

How much is 1000 pounds in US dollars? Am I asking too many questions? :-)
