Well, I went and did it. I bought a 2000 and a bunch of manuals to go 
with it. A friend came over and we copied all of his 
(distributable) stuff (Thanks, Rocky and Rich!). So now I have my 
questions:

I seek more hardware, especially a memory board which will take 8 megs 
(the max.?) but it must be able to be semi-populated. I am also looking 
for another 3.5 internal floppy. There seem to be so many about. I don't 
think I'll worry about harddrives yet...

Also, for a continuing project I would like to use this wondrous piece 
of new hardware. In particular, I need to be able to display still-frame 
images from a VCR, and to then be able to paint over those images and 
store only the painted portions, for later use in animation (for use in 
athletic analysis). I think a genlock would do, just not sure. Also, are 
there any digitisers which will grab frames from video input. All the 
ones I see advertised get their input from pictures.

As for the Demo wars, American has three Amiga's demoing in their 
computer department, on their main aisle, closest to their main entrance 
(Madison store), a 500, a 2000HD, and a 2500HD. Usually, the 2000 runs 
the Space Ace demo and the 2500 runs the walker demo, although I have 
seen others occasionally. The 500 seems to get use as the machine to 
demo programs for prospective buyers.
