Hi Denny,
Yea, agree with the A600 price point issue. But isn't this, yet
another, example of the paternal attitude that `single product' (for want
of a better phrase) computer companies exhibit? Apple is *exactly* the
same. Although I really referring to new model releases without prior
warning (both Apple and Commodore are guilty of this) rather than price
drops. On the other hand, PC owners are going through a parallel
experience – they buy a new PC and the price drops a 100 pounds the
following month. I've tracked a 486 that I'm interested in buying drop 400
pounds in the past sixt months. The penalty of progress I guess.
I don't follow your last point – what does the price point have to
do with compatibility? (It's late, if I've missed a subtlety, forgive me.)
Paul
