They're Amiga-1000s, a now discontinued model (one I prefer to the 500, but that's based on the detachable keyboard). You want to start comparing the A500 with the 520ST? Dave works at Commodore, I think you can trust his sales figures. > Commodore has done > a GREAT job ADVERTISING (Atari doesn't advertise!!) the machines. Tell them that on comp.sys.amiga. We are uniformly disgusted by the Commodore advertising, and wish they did as good a job as Atari. Atari has some effective advertisements comparing the hardware with the PC and the Apple IIGS, where it shines (as does the Amiga, but Commodore doesn't see fit to tell anyone). > 200-300 bucks would place the A500 in the 1040ST price range. Uh, huh. There. No flames. Just facts. If you want a flame, send me private mail and I'll be happy to oblige. -- Peter da Silva `-_-' peter@sugar.uu.net Have you hugged U your wolf today?
