Good news!! The A600/HD finally arrived here in Quebec City, Canada!
Here is the configuration:
68000 7MHz KS/WB 2.05 40MB 2"1/2 IDE Hard drive 1MB ram SuperFat Agnus 2MB
(8375) Color Composite output
Comes with a Software kit (Kindwords, Fusion Paint, Zany Golf, …)
All this for only $795 cdn
MUCH less than an equally equiped A500!!!
And the size!!! It's so small… almost the same size that my HST is! It
looks like a laptop!
A good machine that will help Commodore this fall!

Pat,
Do you know how much $795 is in US Dollars? I know it's less but I
don't know the conversion rate.
If you don't know, that's okay!

Jon, I usually figure that things cost about twice as many dollars as
pounds. That's usually just a little high, since the exchange rate runs
from about $1.75 to$1.90 per pound, but its easy to figure and is never
VERY far off.
Betty,
I'm getting an exchange rate of $2.04 from my bank now. Talk about
tough living!

Makes it really tough on us when we want to visit ENgland, though! So
mostly, my English friends come to see me. Saves them money, and we still
get together.
Betty,
I guess now would be the time to visit the States with the exchange
rates like they are. Maybe I'll pop over in a couple of months.
-Sean
It should be about a $100 less in US dollars

Great news! Now I know what to bug daddy for this Xmas!

I still don't see why CBM couldn't throw in a 14 MHz 68000 for cryin' o
loud !!!
Paul,
what, and actually have to change components?!! God forbid! We have to
maintain our massive profit margins. <tongue NOT in cheek>
