- How about $300 as a reason..?
-
- Given a retail price of $799 for the entire Falcon, do you really think
- it's reasonable to tell people to expect to pay more than 40% of the
- cost of the computer to just add a floppy disk drive..?
-
- How do you explain to someone who would like to add a $42 floppy drive
- that it's going to take a Floptial 21 Meg drive to accomplish what they
- want to do..?
