Yes, but it also seems to be true that not many 1000 owners want to upgrade their existing machine either, judging by the underwhelming suppport ASDG got for their 2000-and-1 quasi-announcement.* I fear that the truth is, if you want significant expandability, you'll have to get a 2000. And yes, I put my money where my mouth is: I took the $$ I saved last summer for an A1000 hard disk and replaced it with a 2000 instead. I'm not sorry, though I'm still hard-disk-less. *Note: This was where ASDG sent out several thousand flyers as well as a USENET announcement saying, "We're ready to produce the 2000-and-1 if we can sell enough of them. Send a $100 refundable deposit now and if we get enough checks we'll produce." They got something like 10% of the required number of deposits. The amiga.racks subtopic of the asdg topic on BIX has vanished. -- Stephen Walton, Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, Cal State Univ.
