OK, Netland gurus, I'm one of those poor unfortunate souls who bought an
early A2000. This machine has performed almost faultlessly for me since
it was first bought, and I have no intention of replacing it yet. MAYBE??

You see, it all depends upon the answer to my current problem/woes... namely,
I want a hard disk in the thing. Now are there any problems sticking such a
convenient device into one of these models, and if not what is the cheapest/
best/safest combination.

What about things like WB2.0, AV, etc., etc.... Will these great new
convenience goodies be pliable enough to work inside my machine??

The answers to these questions will determine the outcome of a long and 
fruitful/meaningful relationship with my machine. Will keep you all posted...
