I have Abel Supply's price list from April 16th (before this "upheavel"),
and they mention the Amiga 2000 suggested retail price as $1695,
not $1495. Seems like the price raise is not related to this upheavel.

Along totally different lines, has anyone tried executing the
"littletask" example from Chapter 9 of Rob Peck's book under Manx? 
I have had no luck -- I've set the littletask stack to 10000, the main
program stack to 40000, and still no luck. Seems like the littletask
can do simple things like "while(1);" and function calls to other
functions in my program, but as soon as I call an Exec function like
(FindTask()), I get a GURU. (I realize I can't call AmigaDOS functions
from a task. I just want to be able to call FindTask(), FindPort(),
and Get/PutMsg()...) This program works under Lattice anyway --- At least
the compiled version on Peck's disk does...
