- Ditto for me. When C= had the power up program last summer it was a deal
- I could not refuse. But I was broke. I sold my A500 and hard disk for
- $1000.00US, got a loan for $2000 from my credit union and bought an
- A3000/25 with multiscan monitor. Added 4 megs or ram and another 80MB
- hard disk.
-
- I still owe ~$800.00 on this system. If C= releases the new chips
- with no upgrade for the current top of the line (the A3000 series),
- I too will be the proud new owner of a 486 box/ Super Kick Butt VGA and
- lots of disk space, 16bit sound card and CD-ROM drive all running Windows NT.
