Recently I have noticed the small computer chains selling Amiga 500's for
like $600 or so.  I am considering upgrading from my toy computer.  My
questions are:

Is this a good deal?
What are the differences between the 500, 1000, 2000?  Probably memory
size [which is easy to fix], but what else?
What do these differences imply about software availability/compatibility?
Is 500 inventory just being dumped perhaps because of obsolescence?
