It is about $60K, last I heard (someone at Rand or ISI correct me here.) It is also about 3 times as slow as the Dandelion (what's inside the Star), according to very reliable people at PARC; that is surprising, since the Star costs little by comparison ($6K in parts costs, I've heard.)

Also, XEROX is now putting up Smalltalk on the Star, for internal use. I have no idea, and I suppose neither does XEROX, if they'll ever release it. -------
