I also read that Commodore has 'lowered' the retail prices of their PC
clones by upgrading the systems to include monitors without raising the
retail price. Does this means they are STILL trying to get rid of those
old 1080 monitors?? Could we extend this a little bit and presume that the
new higher list prices for the 2000/500 are for systems bundled with monitors??
