The last price I heard Atari U.K.  tossing about was 4000 pounds.  We
should have a better idea when developer units start shipping this
month.  I haven't seen the Computer Shopper article yet, so I won't
comment on its accuracy (yet :-).

For those following the ATW, I've been compiling and running short
X-Windows programs this last week.  Floating point is blazing fast.  So
far I am pleased with this interesting machine.  And it certainly has
quite a bit of potential.

Gee, I wonder who that could be.  :-)
