This may be so, but as recently as the June issue of BYTE magazine, Computer
Mail Order advertised the Amiga 2000 with 1MB RAM, A1080 monitor, and A2088
bridge card for $1999.  External drive, etc not included.  This isn't meant as
an advertisement, and I'm sure CMOs prices are just as volatile as the
marketplace, but whatever C-A's marketing people do, some friendly salespeople
are going to be willing to take less profit for higher volume.  So get some
sleep and don't worry too much :-).
