So I don't think C/A priced it incorrectly. Of You are right, i am wrong, i hope. No the machine i am mentioning is not the Mythical Next beast. But it is probably gonna end up being mythical anyway. I hope they can stick to that price, it will for sure kill the Mac II (one hopes- but then Apple's lawyers may kill the Mac II first) and it should sell Amigas. Sure wish C= does OK here. How about an Amix that can run diskless, or without hard disk? How much would that be? BTW I am another A1000/NO EHB owner who bought an A500. I also used to use an 11/70 for what that's worth. I like both machines, and intend to buy more machines from C=. So There. -- ron (rminnich@udel.edu)
