The reason is that expansion costs money.  period, the end, final.  no
expansion, means cheaper system.  the current 2000 is ugly, and should be
redesigned.  i know at least 3 people that went with clones over my insistant
pleas to buy amiga's over asthetics.  they didn't like the mouse, and thought
the machine was ugly.
