- Now that is another problem .. TIME :) but I know that Escom could to the
- old american way of life "If you have a problem, throw money at it
- unitl it solves itself" :) no . .just kidding :)
-
- Time is of essence but if AT does not drop the price of the a4ooo and the a12oo
- just to even get the machines amongst the people, time will not be important
- anymore :((
- For us customers it would be nice if the price dropped to something _reasonable_
- (not what the current prices are like, no matter how much the production costed)
-
- My way of thinking is,
-
- if enough people got an Amiga again, developers would start developing for
- a upcoming Amiga market and thus, the vicious circle would be broken.
-
- Now we have the situation, most people (including myself) would buy an
- Amiga a4ooo but the thing is, that the price is just too high for what I get
- in return in hardware :((
- And I am surely not *such* and Amiga enthusiast to pay *that* amount of
- extra cash..
-
- There have not been many products in this world, which have started
- selling again after they were not produced for over 18 !! months.
-
- I will wait and see with what AT will come up next (the end version of
- the prototype for example)
