- I think you have got your figures wrong. In the Uk the A4000 sells for 2100
- pounds at the cheapest with 120meg drive and 6megs ram. A 1960 is not included
- it would cost you another 400 pounds taking the total cost to over 2500 pounds
- over 1000pounds more than the 1200 set up. The difference being that you have a
- 25mhz 68040 and expandability :-)
