I'd agree, the A500 is a better choice to buy than the A1000.  The A2000,
if you can afford it, is much more flexible, esp. in terms of adding 
stuff on without adding more power supplies.  Also, the Enhanced Chip Set
will only work on the 500 and 2000.

)with Workbench 1.4. (This information comes from a Commodore employee.

You are misinformed, or else I am.  The Amiga Community and the 
bandwidth on this net do not need a rumor such as this one.
Let it be known that there is ferocious loyalty to the A1000 owners
within the Amiga system software team.

You MAY want to be thinking about more RAM for your A1000, though, since
all the wonderful standard libraries and great neatos that everybody
wants will soak ram up pretty fast, I fear.

Either quote the sucker or don't repeat dangerous rumors, WN4.
