In article <5118@oberon.USC.EDU> I write:

MWM responds:

Sorry, but I am happy owner of an A1000 and and A2000 already, though I like
much better my A2000 (but you probably know that).  Sincerely, considering
the current discounts given by dealers for used A1000s ($200-$500 depending on
condition), your offer is way too high.  Probably $1000 would be more 
appropriate. Good luck! By the way, A2000 sales are so high compared to 
Commodore projections that there is actually a shortage of A2000 that has
impacted developers trying to get discounted machines.  And you thought your
bitching produced decreased sales. Think again.
