- I'm looking at the Paxtron ad right now. They want $52.50
- for the A500/2000 3.1 ROM and another $10 for just the Workbench
- disks. The complete package, including manuals, costs $124.
-
- I guess if you don't mind not having manuals then you could
- save yourself about $60.
-
- Back in the early days of the Workbench 3.1 release there
- was a rash of pirated ROMs and dittoed manuals being sold by
- some Amiga mail order houses. I hope that this type of
- practice has ceased by now. BTW, I'm NOT implying that
- Paxtron is doing this.
