Come on! If you are, you are.  If not, say so and kill a rumour before it 
spreads.  Underdevelopment? RSN? What kind of custom chips are in the 2000?
I must be way off, but I thought the custom chips were the same except for
something called FAT AGNES. A yes or no would have been more informative.
But then again, maybe the reasoning is not to reveal stuff like that to avoid
talking about things that don't already solidly exist, or maybe because C-A's
moving away from the A1000. Whatever...

FLAME OFF.
