I got my Amiga 2000 on educational discount here.  It wasn't much but
you can get a few hundred dollars off.  This was about 5 months ago.

Of course last week I saw a 486 clone (with VGA,h/drive) for the
exact same price I paid for my 2000!!! $3395 AUSTRALIAN!!! Incredible.

I know what I'd buy if I had my choice again now...
