- AT must realize that with an over-priced high-end A4000T and an underpowered
- low-end A1200, they couldn't expect to get MAJOR sales, also when you factor
- in the fact that a new series of Amigas would be coming out in a relatively
- short period of time. I am waiting for March to see what the are going to
- offer us. I would buy a used A1200 if thats all I wanted. I do hope to see
- things pick up when the new machines come out. Market the Netster/Surfer
- pack, especially once the new low-end machine comes out. This WILL sell!
