According to rumors I have heard (I believe they come from CompuServe),
Toys 'R Us will be selling the 520ST with ss disk drive around
Christmas time for $250.   This doesn't include monitor but since the
new 520ST's have an RF modulator, you can use a TV set until you rebuild
your savings account (:-)).  It would certainly make an excellent starter
setup.
