True, very true, and the latest machines don't even have the incompatibility
problem the early Rev. 6 board used to have.

That figures. But I wouldn't count on *ANYTHING* from Commodore. Remember
the upgrade deal from the A1000 to the A2000? The upgrade offer from the
A2000A to the A2000B? How about their offer to trade in your A2090 for an
A2090A? What? You don't remember any of it? Well, I suppose it is because
there never were any offers like this ...
