No, it needs to make the A3000/16 a $2000-$2500 system full time. The other thing it needs is an ~$1000 system like an A500 with a built in hard drive and a detached keyboard to compete against the clones. Something in an A1000 style case with a 2" drive would be fine. I realise you can upgrade the 500 to that level for that price... but I think it needs to be bundled to catch the people who don't want a machine that will clash with their den. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' .
