Welllll... I'm 90% sure that that price does include the $1000 monochrome 
monitor.  I don't have the info with me now that I got in person at the Chicago 
Atari Show last November.  That means I was told that the price without
the monitor is $1500.  I was also told that it is supposed to be ready this
spring (i.e. - Now!) and that they are also working on a color version...which
is great since many people may have just the color monitor.  Also, it comes 
installed on a 230 meg hd and a 300 meg hd is an option.  Apparently, only 
developers have it here in the U.S. right now.
