	The price list hasn't changed in a while. The quantity of
the discount is more or less the same, the A500P being $531.
	The 40% off applies to list. Your brother was probably
saying 12% of street price.

Now the world has gone to bed,		Now I lay me down to sleep,
Darkness won't engulf my head,		Try to count electric sheep,
I can see by infrared,			Sweet dream wishes you can keep,
How I hate the night.			How I hate the night.   -- Marvin
