      But the Apple Lisa/ Mac XL was somewhere around $10,000!  That comes 
out to about $11,500 for a Mac + and 20M HD...  Slightly on the expensive
side...  At least $1295 + $1000 for an A2000 sounds a bit more reasonable.

      Try sell your A1000.  I know plenty of people who would gladly get
an Amiga-1000 for somewhere around $600, including me!  8-)
