     Of course, they'll have to sell it as an OLTP platform running
AT&T's Tuxedo.  :-)

Will the A3000T have a UX version?  i.e. A3000TUX or A3000UXT.  Any notes on
a release date for same?  and a price?

I think they should call it the A3000TUX, that way it's release would be a
black tie affair, with the casing for the machine being black and white.

Just a thought.  :-)

I'd be shocked if Commodore didn't provide it for the A3000T.  It'd make a 
great server machine for the normal A3000UX's on the network.

Date:  Don't know, but am sure Commodore won't say anything except "soon."
Price:  Probably about the same amount difference between the A3000-25/100
        and the A3000UX-B.  (Unless they add a bigger hard drive and/or 
        more RAM, which would be a good idea.)  As I haven't even heard of
        a price for the A3000T (except in DM), I couldn't even guess approx.
        how much, except that it'll be more than a poor student, like me,
        can afford.

Correct.

Correct.

Correct.

Under debate.  It's sometimes cheaper to buy your own add-ons from your
local dealer, rather than have us define an optimum package for everyone.
