Yea, and the processor, custom chips, and 1 Meg RAM are FREE, right? :-)
And by the way, you DON'T HAVE to buy the A2000 or upgrade, if you don't
want to. Just keep your A1000, and stop bitching and whining.  I guess
after the "piracy" thread to add to my KILL buffer, now it's the time of year
of the "A1000->A2000 upgrade" thread: so I'll add "Death" and "A1000" to my
KILL buffer. Isn't it interesting that the SAME things always come back
every 12 months or so?
