 [note: I posted this to world since Atari users seem interested in
  what things cost in other countries.]

 I just got this information from my local Atari dealer (gosh, I 
actually have 2 of them!) from his new price list.

Atari TT (32MHz 68030,...we know the specs)
 (These are Suggested Retail Price)
  2megsRam/50megHD --- $2999.95
  4megsRam/50megHD --- $3499.95
  8megsRam/80megHD --- $4299.95

  TT color monitor --  $549.95
  (forgot to ask about the 2-page monitor)

  Yes, the TT does include a 68882 (not 881) FPU !! Yeah!
  Keyboard is included

  My dealer said he could lower the price quite a bit and still
make a good profit.  Expect street prices to be about 3/4 of MSRP.

For some comparison here are some Mac prices here at Brown (education
pricing)

  MacIIsi  (20MHz 68030, one slot,no fpu)
   2/40HD  --- $2,426.46
   5/80HD  --- $2,941.50

  MacIIci  (25MHz 68030, 3 slots, 68882)
   1/nohd  --- $3,776.22
   4/80HD  --- $4,232,43

  Mac keyboard -- $152.07  (the one similar to the TT's)
  Apple 13" RGB color monitor --- $664.89
    (yes, there is another color monitor but this one is similar to
     the TT's)


Of course, no word on release data.  No prices on MegaSTe's.
Hope you find this interesting!
     
Marshall
