The millionaire sentence does not make any sense.
Makes perfect sense, hence the phrase before hand - "A fool and his/her money is easily parted".
I paid $1500 NZD when the A500 came out back in the 80's. It was a kick ass machine, nothing came close to it. Multitasking, graphics and running 3 or 4 programs at once with 1MB RAM.
$2700 USD for this machine and the hardware we're getting is a few years old, and the processor isn't made anymore also the way it's worded you don't get the OS at that price.
Also this is USD, so by the time it gets to NZ it's probably going to be $4k including shipping it down here.
If I was a millionaire I'll be back natami or FPGA arcade. Smart money on a product that will be going places.
