In Australia, Commodore has left thousands of Amiga-1000 owners with
absolutely no upgrade path other than to try and sell their 1000 through the
newspapers (for which, I can tell you, there is not much demand).

Why, when there was such a successful upgrade campaign performed in the US
for people to upgrade their now obsolete machines was the same thing not
done here in Australia.  It would seem that C= has absolutely no regard for 
its customers (proven time and time again - - come and prove me wrong 
Commodore), not only that but they are foregoing possible revenue (and further
continued revenue through my purchasing more C= equipment through my supposed
satisfaction) and my continued support as an Amiga owner.

But, then what would a company that was brought up on charges of breaches of
the Trade Practices act through price fixing know about the basics of
competition in a capitalist society.  

Maybe, I might teach them (I invite others to join if they so wish) by dumping
my 1000 for what ever I can get for it and buying (heaven help me) a Mac or
a PC.

Any answers, Commodore?
