That's the supposed next-step after HQ-5, once someone makes a hard drive
that can go that fast... <sigh>

I DEFINATLY aggre with you! ESCOM CANNOT sell Amigas at $2700. You can
get a damn nice Pentium for that price. And that's DOWN from the
original $3500!!! Put 060s in'em and I MIGHT pay $2700. At least A1200s
with hard drives'll be only $800 or so. I expect that once they get
eberything up to speed, they'll drop the price, and get to work on the
PowerPC models... I hope...

$1500 would be a GREAT improvement! I think they NEED under $2000, but
since they ALREADY have the current stock of A1200s (100,000) and A4000Ts
(20,000) sold, someone must be buying them. Not for much longer at
those prices, though...
