Then there aren't any serious companies left in this world. I've never heard of any company ever giving away a computer because the old one got left behind. It's not as if your A1000 will be useless! It'll still work under 1.4, just won't handle everything. Even if it doesn't work under 1.4, contrary to what all the engineers have been saying, you still have 1.3. Besides, would you really want a 500???? The whole point of the 2000 is that it's more expandable. Commodore is being nice, something they didn't have to do at all. I didn't hear of Apple giving Mac or Mac 512 owners free upgrades to the Mac Plus. There has never been an upgrade from the IBM PC or XT. -- Ethan Ethan Solomita: es1@cunixb.cc.columbia.edu Compu$erve : 70137,3271 Anyone giving away Amigas or Sharp Scanners???
