Ok, the bottom line is that you pay $1200 - $1300 for a bare bones
A2000. This sounds reasonable enough, but the thought occurs to me that
in 6-9 months the street price of the A2000 will be pretty close to
that. By that time the "Buster tower" problem should be fixed, and there
ought to be an official line on the rumored 1 Meg Chip RAM upgrade.

Since there is no functional difference between the A1000 and the A2000,
what's the rush to "upgrade"?
