Is there another computer war brewing? Remember way back when, Commodore vs. Atari vs. TI vs. Apple, etc.? Remember the price of a Atari 1200XL dropped from$899.00 to $199.00? When the smoke cleared who won? The consumers! Is this going to happen again? -Evan _______________________________________________________________________________ | Evan Jay Mitchell EECS/ERL Industrial Liaison Program | | mitchell@janus.berkeley.edu University of California at Berkeley | | Phone: (415) 643-6687 | | "Think, it ain't illegal...yet!" - George Clinton | |_____________________________________________________________________________|

Atari recently announced that they will be pricing the 520ST somewhere between $300-$400. Wonder who will be around when the dust clears. -- Joachim ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What do my .sig and UCI have in common? | | jvance%bonnie@ics.uci.edu | - - - - - - - - - | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ They're both Under Construction Indefinately.|
