No kidding!  That seems to be the time to quit when RJ comes to town :-)

I can confirm the rumor - it was shown at the Boston Computer Society
Amiga (general) meeting.  The Official Grande Intro (in the US, I think)
will be at the BCS General Assembly meeting this coming week.

Not to take anything away from the A2000, but when you have CBM on stage
demonstrating multitasking, sound and graphics, and have had an A1000
for 18 months .. who cares?  I'll keep the keyboard garage and get
an A500 for the road.
