- no doubt.
-
- based soley upon the press releases, the A4000 sounds like a bomb waiting
- to go off. perhaps i'm letting marc barrett get to me, perhaps not. i bet
- many others are feeling the same way, and i for one _will not_ plop down
- nearly $4000 on a machine that seems to be destined to become the next A1000.
-
- i'm patiently awaiting something along the lines of an "A4500". with SCSI,
- repaired mother board, and the promised improved sound.
-
- hopefully designed by dave haynie.
