[Basically describes the compaint as "whining"]

It's not whining, bub.  I bought my A1000 and less than 4 months later they were
announcing the A2000.  Well, I would have bought an A2000 if I KNEW ABOUT IT!

So here I am with a computer that has been effectively abandoned hardware-wise
by it's company less than 4 months after I bought it. That sucks.

I will not buy another *Commodore* computer, not because I am mad (and I am),
but because there's nothing to say that they won't do the same exact thing
again.

I will consider other brands of computers, however, especially those that
demonstrate a willingness to support their customers.
