Personally, I'd rather see CBM come out with an "A500X", that being a small
Amiga system configured as an X-Window terminal.  It would have Dale Luck's
X Server and Boing mouse, and some form of ethernet connection.  Connections
for both thick & thin would be ideal.  Other nice options would be:
  1)  choice of color or grayscale monitors
  2)  additional memory

If I'm correct in thinking that the A590 provides memory and harddrive 
expansion capabilities for the 500, then all that's lacking is ethernet.
