But will Commodore give it to you for nothing?

Of course it is, Amiga 500 is more expensive and came out after the C64. But
how can you explain that A3000UX is more expensive (as it seems now)
than a NeXTStation - even if A3000UX is launched later (and has 68030
instead of 68040 etc.)?

This is the whole point of me staying in this argument. As it seems that
you don't care what you pay for your machine, only if it is an Amiga -
and nothing can change that - I am getting fed up with this.
