I'm the proud, and almost completely thrilled owner of a new A2000.
I've been an A1000 owner for ... has it *really* been 2 years, and I've
had nothing but good to say about it.  From initial indications, the
2000 will provoke the same reactions.  I'd like to thank Dave Haynie and
crew for the wonderfully clean and sharp looking motherboard (Rev 4.4).
I've looked at the guts of a number of PClones and I think this puppy
beats them all.  (Disclaimer: I are not a injuneer. But I are heavily
biased towards the Ami and against the Peeseas. :-)

Actually the subject line is a little misleading, I have only one jeer.
I question the wisdom putting the keyboard, and game ports on the front
panel of the box.  I have a tiny desk any it's tough to keep the
keyboard from bending the keyboard and mouse connectors.  Other than this, 
I'm pleased with the design.  The jet engine fan is going to take some 
getting used to, :^), but I'm pleased that it's there.  I've no wish to 
see any upcoming cards turn to puddles of solder and plastic.

I admit that the extra RAM, the battery backed clock, and the KS in ROM
don't hurt too much either.

Amid all the screams of worried Amiga users who fear orphandom, I'd like
to raise a hearty, albeit corny, yell of "Hip hip hoorah!" for the folks
who brought, and continue to bring us the Amiga.
 
[Yes.  You may all vomit now, as you wish. ;-]
