|fault if you don't take this offer now.

	The question is, what will become of
	all those A1000's whch C= picks up
	from these deals?

	In some ways the A1000 is a superior
	beastie, and with the Rejuvenator plus
	other nice doodads (both present and
	soon forthcoming) will continue to be
	able to hold its own in the Amiga
	hardware world. I will hope to be able
	to boot Amix on mine sometime this year
	if I add on the proper aforementioned
	doodads...

	I believe C= has said that they will
	continue to offer software support for
	the 1000 through at least release 1.4,
	so relax. They still continue to support
	the Sidecar as well...

Cheers,
