>"The base A2000 price should be around $800 these days, not $1900!"< Kevin: I agree… but as I said… it may be that the 2000 is being positioned for video use… a specialty market. There has been no announcement (as yet, anyway) about an increase in A3000 pricing. And while I'd like to see the A3000/25/50 at a list of $1999, the $2249 promotion price is still a decent value. You must compare the 3000 pricing to Macintosh pricing… what is the list on a 68030 25Mhz MAC witha 50 meg internal hard drive? Forget about the 2000… you and I and the rest of us who know the machine will be buying them used if we need them. CBM appears to want to make a couple of bucks on the video trade with the 2000… they took a lesson from NewTek. (I wonder if they say down together and said "Athousand bucks is a nice round number for a price increase…" 🙂 – Whapp!ng from the North Coast Michael
