- You`re right and AT started throwing out A1200s...you`ll get it
- $200 cheaper if you give your old A500, C64, Plus4, A2000, A3000;-((
- to them...like CBM did in USA years ago with A500...now At does it here in
- europe because AT is located here.
-
- You know MC Donalds? ;-) They will put infos in their cinema magacine next
- month (don`t kow if there is anything like this in US or rest of world).
- It`s moving and the new machines sound nice...
-
- They offered that top tradein with an article in a german newspaper...
- ~$250.000 in cost.
