Some other details that I got after the show, mostly from a dealer friend of mine (who will go nameless). * The 4000T got fired up at the show due to crowd pressure at one point. It booted, and ran some software, and was turned off shortly afterwards. * The 4000/030 is being positioned in a weird way. My dealer friend told me that upon returning home, he talked to his CBM rep. It seems that although the 4000/040 is easy to get, the /030 is in very short supply (more so than the 1200). Also, the rep told him the he would do best to price the /030 at $1999, which stikes me as pretty stupid. He'll do one for me for under $1800, although I think that the price is still way too high. Hopefully, CBM will meet its /040 quotas, and drop the price of the '030 AGA machines. Priced at $1500 or below, the machine would really have legs.
