     Maybe so, but I know a lot of A500 owners (and am one myself) - and I know
of only one A500 which has NOT been expanded past base configuration. The most
popular two upgrade paths are a second floppy or memory; I've done both, as have
several others I know. The more popular upgrade among those who have only done
one is getting up to 1 meg RAM.
