- Well so far there is only talk of the highend Power Amiga and no talk of
- the lowend or middle-ranged PPC Amigas, though mentioned that they were
- planned. Assuming they will put all they have into the Power Amiga and
- see how well it does, it will be 1 - 2 years anyways more then likely
- before a new lowend PPC Amiga comes out. They will not make as many
- Power Amigas as they would lowend Amigas. The A1200 Surfer should get
- decent numbers of machines made as they are less expensive to build and
- can ship faster. If they sell, more will be made and price will be dropped.

- For the stock A1200? Hmm.. if that's the case, yeah, that would be pushing
- it. I'd rather wait for the A1200+ and for them to promote it.

- True, but it will also lower if a high number of Surfer packs get sold.
