Now THIS is interesting.  I heard tell of this on a local BBS, but I
thought it was some rumor mongerer doing some random/wishful thinking.

Anyway the guy said that his dealer said CBM will take back old A1000 to
use to sell at discount to schools and if you give him another $750, he'll
give you an A2000.  

$750 is at least reasonable (that's about a $750 buyback on your A1000).
Asking for $1000 is ridiculous, you might as well get an expansion box.  But
I am jumping the gun.  Can we have some "official" word on this from some of
the net-viewers at CBM??

A hint????

(How about a true or false, you can at least be binary?)
