Maybe Jerry should have got a 500 right off the bat - maybe his
expectations would not be as high.  I mean, the 2000 "looks" like
what a '286 or '386 machine looks like.  I could see him expecting
similar performance and reliablity.  The AT machines have progressed
through an eveloutionary process of many many years as opposed to
the Amiga.  Since J.P. seems to favor games on the Amiga (when
he can get them to start ;-) then a 500 would be much more suitable.
Saying good things about the 500, would help the 2000 as well.
I'm afraid adding an '020 to his 2000 will only result in more
programs not running properly instead of the other way around.
