<<The suggested U.S. list price for a basic system is $1,600, which includes the CPU board, the operating system, an I/O card, CodeWarrior for Be development tools, a system case, cables, and technical and user documentation. >> I see CPU "board", but I don't see the actual CPU or Power PC's listed. Does it come with the 2 PPC's for that price? You know, maybe this will inspire Amiga Technologies to get their butts in gear and get new Amigas out and start marketing here in the US. If Be is willing to do it, then I KNOW Amiga Tech can too. The Amiga has a pretty strong foothold on the video market. I'd hate to see it lose to the BeBox. Besides, I think that name sounds stupid (don't you?). I honestly thought this BeBox was someone's idea of a sick joke; I guess I was wrong. Where the hell is Draco?! That machine is suppossed to have an 060 and an option for an Alpha DEC chip; now THAT could compete with the BeBox, if only it was a lot cheaper. Waiting till Motorola decides to release that 68060.

Once there was the PC, then came a better, newer and fresher machine: The Amiga. Only a few more intelligent people checked this and still use it. Now maybe there is again a new, fresher machine without 10year old handicaps that can't get rid off because of compatibility. Maybe that's the new Amiga… who knows?? cya Jochen Antesberger from Neuburg a.d. Donau – Bavaria/Germany Titanic – Hindenburg – Challenger – Intel Pentium … what comes NeXT?
