Well, I guess I must agree with you --- You are right. But I did first
read about the Amiga 1000 in an Byte article very much like the one about
the 2000 that just appeared. (I think the original A1000 article was in the
August '85 issue of Byte --- am I correct?) Anyway, I guess the A1000 was not
out then, but, based on what I read in Byte, I did fall in love with it,
and the machine did fulfill all my expectations (in fact much more) when 
I finally got it. So there are exceptions!  8-)
