For what it's worth I was going through some stuff and found my *original*
A1000 system reciept (it is tax season after all), 12/28/85 A1000 with 
512K of RAM, extra Drive and a monitor $1812.33. Adjusting for inflation
that's $1960.22 (inflation of 4%). Today you get slots, a place to plug
in an IBM PC compatible card, another 512K of RAM, and a battery backed
up real time clock. All in all I think the 2000 is a damn good deal and
would certainly buy one if I didn't already have my 1000.
