I also feel compelled to give my opion here.

I think that most users can't ask  much more in a stock, off the shelf
machine than what is available with the A500 and the A2000. The A500 offers
low price while keeping most of the standard features of the orginal 1000.
The 2000 offers the buyer a much easier path to expansion, without giving
him any hardware he doesn't want. Also as someone else mentioned these
options give a broader base of users, which helps the Amiga software 
platform. If you think of the software that was available 2 years ago when
the 500 and 2000 came out, compared with what now is available and you can't
help but be atleast alittle thankful. If it wasn't for the 500 and 2000 ,
I wonder fow many of those buyers would have gone with ST's and MACII's?
