Hello Joe,

> Hey Christian, do you *have* one of those ST2000XM's?

No, not yet. :-)

>I've been eyeing it and haven't seen that it's available yet.

i read following information on SBIG Homepage:
"Production begins in June 2002. We are now accepting orders"

>If is it available, what did SBIG settle on the cost of the ST2000XM?

i read following information on SBIG Homepage:
$3495.00 (US) (for customers within the US!)

i asked my german SBIG-dealer for the german price, he said that the finally
price is not known yet, but it would be *about* 5500 Euro!

Christian
