	Commodore isn't THAT stupid. <I shall refrain from
defining ANY level stupidity before I slit my own throat 8> If
they remove the A2000 it'll be because they've either introduced
something else new, or they've dropped the price on the 2000HD
significantly or the 3000-16 significantly, or, hopefully,
because they have a redesigned Amiga. I have no knowledge myself
of ANY of these matters.
	BTW, I'll make you a bet that if CBM is coming out with
an A500 replacement, or an A2000 replacement, that'll be the
tightest secret they HAVE. I can't imagine the hit that'll take
on sales if any real info got around.
	There is a distinction, BTW, between not making any more
A2000s and not making any more of the 2000 line. That would hurt
a lot cause of the state of the Toaster.
Now the world has gone to bed,		Now I lay me down to sleep,
Darkness won't engulf my head,		Try to count electric sheep,
I can see by infrared,			Sweet dream wishes you can keep,
How I hate the night.			How I hate the night.   -- Marvin
