I called Toys Ya Us (the middle letter is the Cyrillic Ya, not an R - must be a Russkie operation) in Framingham, MA ((617) 872-6242) and learned that, alas, $399 buys you only a cpu/keyboard and a mouse. Certainly not a monitor and I believe not even a disk drive. Either way, $499 for a full system is still the best price I have heard confirmed (e.g. CompuClub in Framingham or 47th Street Whatever). The good news is that Toys Ya Us is back into selling Atari products, including the 800XL at $69.95 with a considerable quantity left to sell. If we all express interest and remind them of the $499 package price for the monochrome system maybe they will match it. -John Sangster jhs@mitre-bedford.arpa
