- A company called R2B2 advertises both also in Amiga Magazine. I believe
- the surfer package costs Hfl 1500,- or 1600,-.
-
- I think the price is definitely on the high side. I also think that this
- is the price they realistically must ask at this point, or not sell
- the package at all. And since everyone on this forum and their grandmother
- have been whining about what a great opportunity it would be for AT if
- they produced a cheap Internet box I do not think the latter is really
- an option.
-
- I assume that once the Surfer packs start selling prices will drop.
