Take that Byte article with a very large grain of salt.  It was written
with some very misleading information.  The $4000 pricing, by all indications
is educational pricing, not list.  The standard machine comes with 4 MB,
not 8.  The Moniterm monitor displayed in the illustration is not the
monitor that comes standard with the Amiga.  The standard display is not
nearly as nice.  The author of the article compared the yet-to-be officially
release Amiga 3000ux with the out-of-production NeXT 1.0 computers.  
There should be a whole slew of retractions in upcoming issues of Byte.
Enjoy the glow while you can.
