   Just to add some fuel to the fires here.. In the "Roomers" column in June's
Amazing Amiga, it says that the 2000HD has been cut to $1999 list.  The

  I don't know what the point is but there you have it.. 

(Gee, I'm sure glad I don't get involved in this stuff.. I don't own any 
 fireproof underwear..)  Well, have fun and don't hurt each other..
