Nothing more than Atari raising dealer prices across the board from
what I hear from other dealers locally. I only know of the single $100
increase on the 1040, but the girl at CMO mentioned that they have
seen two price increases in the last few months on the 1040.

Same thing happened here at ETA...one guy bought his in mid December
for $150 less than another got his for in mid January (think the last
price was $940 for an RGB 1040. Still another person just bought his
at a local store for $1050 or so. From what I hear, both the mail
order people are happy with their machines and the other guy probably
will be if the store ever gets their shipment in...but that's another
problem altogether.
