The first Macintrash II demo I saw had a really nice 1000x1000, 19" color
monitor propped up next to the machine. "Oh, oh" thought I, worried that
my little Amy might've finally met it's match. Until I had the presence of
mind to ask the salesguy how much that really nice 1000x1000, 19", COLOR
box would set a person back. 

"Four Grand". 

Need I say any more??
