$2500?  Why not buy an A3000-25Mhz under the educ discount for around $2200
and a few hundred for a Multisync?  Oh, I guess the A3000 wouldn't have the
bigger hard drive and the neato 1200 baud modem.  This isn't a flame but
just protecting unweary buyers.  I've had my share of getting ripped off
and almost getting ripped off because of suggestions from helpful net'ers.
