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

What problem was this, please?

That surprises me, although our Customer Support is NOT Technical Support.
That should be provided by the dealers.  Do you recall who you spoke to, Bill?
I would like to enlighten the person.

$That figures. But I wouldn't count on *ANYTHING* from Commodore.

Such as free support on usenet?

Do you have anything constructive to say?  I guess you can't count on the fact
that we have delivered around a million Amigas either.

$Remember the upgrade deal from the A1000 to the A2000?

Which was highly successful, and ran for months longer than it was originally
intended due to demand.  We also sent a mailing to all registered A1000 owners.

$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 ...

You're correct.  Commodore has never made offers like this, so what is your point?
The A2090B autobooting card for the A2090 (not A) will be available soon, allowing
an A2090 owner to inexpensively add the autobooting capability of the A2090A.
