- Peter Sinclair-Day asks of us all:
-
- >>The PowerWave 120(604-120mhz.) has been reduced to $2799 with 16 megs, 1
- gig, video board, keyboard and software bundle.. Currently a A4000t has a
- price tag of around $2800 for a slow 040!
-
- Why does the A4000t costs soo much and does less?<<
-
- As we have tried to tell you (and others) over and over again..... The
- Amiga has just been reintroduced to the market after an entire year of no
- sales, and no R&D at all. If Apple suddenly had gone out of business, and
- hadn't licensed their hardware to Power Computing, do YOU think it would
- come back to the market at a reasonable price / power, if at all?
-
- If AT had waited for the PPC Amiga, there would assuredly have been NO
- MARKET AT ALL left. Not the market for the Amiga is wonderful right now,
- but at least it exists!! If AT had waited 'till 1997 to intro a new Amiga,
- NOBODY at all would have bought it - It would be like the BeBox now, what
- with no software currently available, etc.
-
- YES, the A4000T is too expensive!! That's why smart consumers either buy
- an A3000 (like I hope to soon), or an A1200 and a tower case which
- provides Zorro III slots and a video slot.... ;-)
-
- Have a nice day!!
