A person here bought a Mega 4 and I got a brief look at it, so it appears that
one does indeed exist.  The story of what he went through to get it was truly
incredible...seems it is easier to find the Holy Grail or Noah's Ark than to
buy a Mega 4.  Maybe Atari is trying the Rolls-Royce marketing strategy: make
a few of them, and let everyone fight over them and pay high prices for the
privilege of owning a limited edition.

One interesting point...he said he found a lot of places that wanted to sell
him a Mega 2.  Has anybody figured out how to upgrade a Mega 2 to a Mega 4?
For what the guy here payed for the Mega 4 (all things considered) it would
have been cheaper to get a Mega 2 and upgrade it.  [In fact it would be
MUCH cheaper to get a 520 and upgrade it to 4 megs...but that wouldn't be
quite the same thing...]

What's it take to upgrade a Mega 2?
