I see now the Amiga range is listed and shown in the lasted dealer catalogue/price list from SDL. The 4000T looks nice, or it's case does. About the only flaw is the price and I honestly think there'll not sell when they get placed next to a 133Mhz Pentium when you compare the prices, especially when you don't even get a monitor. On top of this (and sorry Escom) Escom staff have a hard enough time selling PCs as is it, so what there'll do with the Amiga I don't know. About the only good thing going for the Amiga is that it won't need as much support as the PCs need due to it's good OS, but this is something a saleman will never mention. Talking Tandy and the US connection, I would think it a strong connection, as there shops seem to staffed by US folk more than UK folk. Also, if Tandy do stock Amiga, it'll be the first time they've stocked a good computer. What image this will place on the Amiga is anyones guess however.
