If you raise the price of amiga's, people will buy them elsewhere (as most amigoids do, Federated is worthless), and you lose sales and profits. There IS enough room in this world for Amiga's, Atari's and Mac's.

Federated has a policy of beating any advertised price. If they continue to sell other machines, they will of course have to be competively priced. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gregg Whitcomb USENET: ucbvax!ic!whitcomb ARPA: whitcomb@ic.berkeley.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
