- Well, it looks like the long wait is over. So much for a reasonably affordable
- flicker fixer for us A1200 users. This price of $720 CAN comes out to around $450 US
- and then you still have to buy a monitor. We could all buy a new Multisync monitor
- for less than this.

- Well, I guess when you're a little company, you've got to recoup your R&D costs. I
- wonder how much they're going to lose now that they've outpriced themselves. What a
- letdown. Shame of it was, there was something similar reviewed in Amazing Amiga 2
- years ago called the AmiVGA. It sold for under $100 US. Too bad no dealers here in
- America can seem to get hold of it.
