[net.micro.atari] Atari price cuts

I wandered into a Best Products catalog store here in Cleveland this
weekend to find many Atari label products on sale! I managed to snarf
up some software items that I needed, but there were some other
significant cuts. The catalog prices for 600XL and 800XL machines are
now approximately $100 and $170, respectively! This makes the 800XL
quite competitive with the C64 (needless to say.) The software sale
items were quite obviously losers to be dumped from Atari (or Best)
inventory (such as Conversational French.)

Anyway, it looks like the price cuts are on and if you have a Best
store in your area, it may be worth a visit. (I don't know if this
sale is local or a national thing.)

An ad in the Chicago Tribune newspaper for W.Bell company yesterday
listed the Atari 800XL for $149.90.

	I bought a 600 XL for $90 (plus tax) yesterday at Bell
here in Baltimore.
