     Ugh!  A 16 MHz '020 with 16-bit data path, 40M Non-DMA HD, 2M memory, and
one expansion slot for $2100?  Mail order?

	 Right now under Power Up (which ends on the 31st :-( ), anyone with access
to a manual cover from just about any older CBM computer can get a 16 MHz '030
machine (with full 32-bit addressing) with 50M DMA HD, 2M Ram, 5 slots, and all
the usual coprocessors, for $1849.  Add a multisync for about $550, and for only
about $300 more than the cost of the LC you've got a machine that gives several
times the performance.  This is not mail order; this is from your local dealer,
so it doesn't include all the problems associated with mail order (it includes
all the problems associated with your local dealer :-).
