	Well, I just received the recent Micro Center ad, and form the 
looks of the prices, I really don't see anyone buying a Falcon other then 
musicians.

	First, we have the Macs..... Hmmmmmm, a LC II with 4 megs of ram 
and 80 meg hard drive... $1190 (All prices I'm going to quote are without 
monitor, just to keep it in line with the Falcon without monitor) IIsi, 
same config, $1500.

	Oh, you don't like Macs. How about an Intel based machine.
MicroCenter doesn't even carry any 386 machines. (Except for notebooks.) A
Compaq Prolinea, with a 486sx, 120 meg hard drive, SVGA, and 4 megs of ram.
(Also a fax/modem) $1398! (Also included is one-year on-site support!!) 

	As much as I would like the Falcon to succeed, I don't see it 
having any sort of success anywhere but the musical world, and then only 
until a DSP card comes out for the Mac or Intel world. (And people use the 
argument that since they weren't built in, software won't support them. Is 
that why Miami here just bought 12 macs for use with Midi? Once a DSP card 
is released, support will follow)

(I'm not associated with Micro Center at all, and I'm not trying to be an 
advertisement, I just wanted people to see prices other than mail-order.)

Later.......
