Times had an ad (Science Times Section C) for the 800XL at $99!!! Much cheaper than the peripherals! There were also several other ads for similar prices, all below $120....most around $110. Tramiel was quoted in the Times business section saying other computer makers were "greedy" and he apparently means business. Oh boy! Wish I hadn't bought my 800 3 years ago. I won't admit what I paid!
