- They sounded high to me too I showed your message to RCS and their
- marketing manager thought so also.
-
- As a result of message, RCS will be putting together a Amiga User
- Group Member offer specifically for Australian users. The offer should
- be availible within a month's time (likely by the end of the month).
-
- I am told the offer will be exactly the same as the previous special
- offer they made to US Club members. That offer was for $995 US/0meg
- (plus duty, taxes, shipping). While the extra costs are the responsibility
- of the buyer, RCS will investigate these costs beforehand and inform
- potential buyers what to expect. Regardless, they are quite confident
- that the total cost will be significantly less than those you quoted.
-
- I am told they will offer the same price on 32bit ram ,ie:4meg/175US.
- The US special offer also included special prices on several softwares.
- I do not know at this time whether these will be included in the
- Australian special offer.
-
- When this offer is availible I will post full details. Perhaps someone
- can indicate to me the appropriate ..aus newsgroup.
-
- Also, If any users in Australia wish have their user group informed of
- the special when availible, please send me the complete snail-mail
- address via *private email*(!). Please do not post addresses etc to the
- newsgroups. It would be helpful if someone could send me a full list
- with addresses of Aus User Groups.
