When I first saw the list price for the 2286 Bridgeboard ($1595) I thought it was a mistake. Upon finding it to be true, I thought maybe Commodore was going to get something right for a change and include a lot of extras with the card. Things such as VGA, ports, extra memory, etc. It now looks as though the 2286 will be little more than a slow AT version of the original Bridgeboard. As such, I feel the price is totally out of line and so do most of the others in my user group. I'm sure there are a lot of others who feel this way and now is the time to let Commodore know that their arbitrary and asinine pricing structure of the 2286 is unacceptable! If you agree and want to do something about it, send a letter to CBM and let them know how you feel. If you are in a user group have your members sign a group letter for the club president to mail to CBM. Remember, the product is not out yet so there's still time for Commodore to get a grip on reality.
