  22. I answered with a somewhat tongue-in-cheek list of alternative reasons.

  30. I detect a pattern.  But I understood "what I could buy for my AMIGA"
  31. to mean standalone 3.5, the price of which is half what will reportedly
  32. be charged for 4.0.  Since 4.0 probably isn't twice as good, the price
  33. difference must reflect the marketplace on the new platforms--which is
  34. what I tried to say the first time.
