I understand that the Amy 500 is already in a few stores in Germany, and
selling for 20% or more off list. Roomers have it that it'll find it's way
over here by early June (Just in time for the 4th of July holiday season!!).

The "suggested retail" (or "you'd be stoopid to buy it at this. . .") price 
is $650, but it'll probably be available at $595 (Gee, that's what my first
C64 cost me!) 2 hours after it hits the shores.
