If the reason CBM is orphaning the A-1000 with the latest
trade-in deal is because 1.4 will require 512K ROM space, there
are alternatives.  Get rid of the daughterboard and insert
ROM inside, or replace daughterboard altogether.
While it is VERY DECENT of them to offer to buy back your
A-1000's for one last go-around (how many other companies
have ever done this once, let alone twice), in some instances
it may not be economically feasible.  If you have lots of money
tied up in expansion devices, it may not be worth it to upgrade
to a 2000.

However, if you have a stock 1000 and have been teetering on the edge 
of upgrading, then this is a pretty good deal. $999 plus your
A-1000 for a 2000, and you can go with a higher system for
a bit more money.

p.s. and for our next hack, a 1000 replacement keyboard :-)
