It's usually not the case that the price of a computer in Germany is
American price * exchange rate. If the German price is supposed to be
13000DM, it's American list price might very well be half that, or
even less... (At least this has been the case with Amiga prices everytime
I've been back there!)

BTW, I have a two-year old 1000, and I'm not feeling abondoned after
having heard about the new machines... I might if Commodore stopped
making machines that ran Amiga software, but otherwise I'm glad to see
Commodore making an effort in being ahead in the technology race. 
[And that's my 0.035DM.]
