Yes, this is the expensive part.

I'm not going to bother with one - just Parnet to my 2000.

Hmm.. I paid £11 for an A1000 keyboard.

More like £120.

>170 Mb HDD: 120     ?

I paid £70 for a second-hand WD 200Mb drive.  Nothing stopping you from going
the second-hand route.

Well, I find the CD32 setup is a lot more *fun* than the 486, but remember,
the PClone is all cheap Eastern parts, and the Amiga parts are of a higher
quality.  My machines have never died, and I've owned Amigas for eight years.
Most clone owners I know have had parts die on them.

>Why Amiga's accessories turn to be more expensive than PC's ?

Because there are about 5 million Amiga owners and over 100 millions PC
owners?

>It that why PC win the market ?

No, it's because PC owners are generally sheep.

Flame suit *on*.
