- Seeing as how the Surfer will be $699 - $720US and hopefully the A1300
- will be around $800US or less, based on the A1300, I'd pay $900 - $1100
- CDN for it but hopefully it would be lower. I don't care what fancy PC I

- A1300.

- I shouldn't comment as this is the same type of generalizations you have

- about, I guess it is time for us to have a talk huh? :)

- This was already being done in town with, *at least* the last Amiga
- dealer here. I approached them about this but at the time I wasn't
- working and they would only do it for people buying that had a job.
