	In case anybody misunderstood, buy back means get the A2000 and
keep your original A1000. I still have mine becuase, 1) I like it, and
2) I have investments in it that I want to keep. What's the problem?

	Of course all this depends on your local dealers policy. CBM doesn't
support the "buy back" option. Just the "upgrade". How many options do you 
wan't? Imperial Business Machines? 8^)

	I "kept" my A1000 for $250, and got the A2000 at $1000 off retail. Not
bad if you ask me! Somebody else did it for $50!
