- Since when have you been able to use the words 'Ethernet' and 'Cheap' in
- the same sentence when talking about Amiga's (except with the word
- 'ain't' inbetween). Amiga owners are expected to spend ú200 on an
- ethernet card that would cost me ú20 for my PC.

- The price is high-end, the specs are (relatively) high end. I'd say it
- was a mid-range to lower high-end machine myself.... As I've said before,
- the Amiga low-end market is dead.

- Perhaps I will. But I'm half interested in buying a 'dung beetle' for
- home (i don't actually have an Amiga at home any more :-( ), but not if I
- can't link it up to the PC and transfer stuff at a half-decent rate (ie
- not EPP parallel!!)
