- The AT Web Page mentioned (but no longer) that the US Surfer Pack would sell
- for $720. This sounds like its in the same ball park as the Disney/Apple
- range. I would suggest AT strongly consider getting their feet wet in the
- US to grab some of the Market share before this group or Oracle, etc, actually
- get their systems to market. Now is the time to act! Go for it!
