I hope they'll go ahead and do that, except for two things. First, it should be priced _lower_ than a comparable PC (a 4000/040/25 with monitor should be priced less than a DX2-50 non-multimedia system; a 4000/030/25 with monitor should be $900-$1000 or so). Second, forget the Warp — it's too darn expensive. Leave that for those serious enough about speed to need one. CEI (or whoever) should produce the 3640 boards with '030's (25/28, 40, 50MHz), '040's (25/28, 33, 40MHz), and even '060's (when available), like Commodore was supposedly going to do. That would be considerably less expensive. Heck, maybe they could even drop the 1200 if they brought the 4000/030 price down enough ($399 sounds good ;). – Jim, on AutoPilot!
