It will keep on existing, and it can still run everything with a
little upgrading.

Yes, you can have both.  For halfbright, just drop in the old denise.
Or pick up a Rejuvinator, and upgrade everything.  And I have seen a
board that allows two megas of chip for the 1000.  Sorry, these are
both viable expansions.

Yeow, that's what I call degredation.  My 2000 will probably be worth
that much...  With all the software, of course.  As is yours.
