}>A2000's come with a 60K/year job??!  Hot dog!  I'm getting one for sure, now!

}  I think.. what most of his point is.. just because some of us cant
}afford a 2000 and all the extra's.. we shouldnt be dealt outa the deck :).
}someone mentioned that 2.0 shoudlnt be packaged with 500's.  I say that

Look, let's put this silliness to rest. The chips that hold the
Kickstart are the same between the two machines. So, logically
speaking, if they sell upgrade options for the A2000 you can use those
SAME chips in the A500. They're not going to stand there and check
your records to see if you have an A500 or A2000. ("Nope, sorry, says
here you got an A500 at home. Not allowed to sell these here 2.0 chips
to ya then.") Not let's stop quibbling about it and move on to more
serious subjects.
