- You're forgetting there is no other place to get an Amiga besides
- Commodore... I think they price their machines fairly reasonably for
- what they do and what the must sink in to them. Mind you, I can't afford
- anything besides my 500, but think about what you're saying. Comparing
- the A4000 with a '486... Sheesh.
