I still won't upgrade.  Not until I pick up an application software package I
want and it won't run on the A1000.  Everyone seems to be jumping the gun by
even thinking their A1000's are obsolete.  And as far as chip upgrades go,
don't forget that a couple third parties offer Kickstart in ROM and internal
RAM for the A1000 - CBM wouldn't touch.  My guess is if there is a way to
keep the A1000 upgraded with the same chips the A500 (at least) has a third
party WILL make some bucks doing it.
