I'm sure you'll get plenty of other replies like mine, but I can't resist
refuting your statement.  Commodore DID indeed have an upgrade deal for
A1000 owners wanting to upgrade to the A2000!  It allowed a trade-in on the
A1000 at a value of $1000 towards the purchase of an A2000.  In my opinion it
was a generous deal.  (I'd love to get $1000 for my A1000 today!).  Commodore
also extended the deadline on the deal to allow more people to take advantage
of it.

It was one of the best gestures I've seen Commodore make.  Thank you C=!

(I do agree with you about the need for an upgrade path from the 2090 to the
 2090A however).
