Hold on, let me get this straight.  You're telling me that a company that was
on the verge of Chapter 11 less than a year ago can "afford to subsidize"??

Did they subsidized the C128?

Has IBM/Apple ever subsidized?  Hey, this would be great if you bought a Mac
and now wanted a Mac SE...

You knew what you were buying when you bought the A1000.  You knew you would
need a card cage.  let's be reasonable about this.  What about those people
that bought the Amiga at release, and then CBM starting giving away the
monitors??  You have to take your chances in the real world!!

And you're not losing "functionality".  The A2000 is 100% (that's right, 100%)
software compatible.  More than you can say for the Mac SE, +, GS or whatever
else you might have.  Most people will never need a card cage other than for
extra mem, and maybe a hard drive.  And for this you don't even need a card
cage.

(feel free anyone, to jump in!)
