- 3 times as much? So PC's _are_ more expensive in Europe then?
- (Here, once you add a monitor to that A1200, it costs roughly the same as the
- pentium)
- (While I'm not right up to date on the conversion between the NZ dollar and the
- pound, going by your figures it appears that an amiga is about the same or
- maybe ever so _slightly_ more expensive here, while a PC is way, way, _way_
- cheaper. )
