$I spoke to my local dealer here in Berkeley...
$So  He tells me that the deals is this:
$the 2000 is going to list for $2495...

The suggested list for the A2000 is $1995.  I suppose the dealer may have
given you a price for a system including a monitor, or including the
Bridgeboard (both $495 extra, suggested list).

$The other thing that happened was that they
$decided to include the bridge card in the list
$price (what else are the slots good for?).

The Bridgeboard is an OPTION.
We are not quoting a suggested retail of $2495, we say $1995, and the
Bridgeboard has a suggested retail of $499.

While it is true that the PC slots are not worth a lot without the
Bridgeboard, this does not apply to "slots" in general on the A2000.
There are *5* Amiga slots, a CPU expansion slot, and a video slot, in
addition to the 4 PC slots (one of which must be filled with the
Bridgeboard).

Also, these are SUGGESTED RETAILS from Commodore.  What the dealers
decide to charge is up to them.
