- They will need major marketing yes. But they could sell the Surfer
- Pack for $400 and still make money. Don't forget C= was selling the A1200 for
- $400 for many many months. AmiTech has much greater resources and drive. They
- should be able to make a A1300/030/3MB/250MB powerful surferPack type machine
- for under $450. Sell 2 million units or so and you got the Market :) (not to
- mention a huge new following of Amiga users)
