Hey everybody, there is a lot of talk going back and forth here about the
impending orphaning of the Amiga 1000, and the impracticality of those of us
who have spent bucks on A1000-specific peripherals to trade it in.

There IS a more cost-effective solution, however!  Doesn't anybody remember
the Rejuvenator project (a replacement A1000 daughterboard which accepts the
new chipset)??  As I understand it, the project is still being pursued, and
the cost of upgrading your Amiga 1000 to the same functionality as the 2000
would cost less than $500, which is a better deal than Commodore's.

Wouldn't that be a better solution for those of us who can't afford to throw
away a lot of money for peripherals we bought?  If anyone knows the person
designing the Rejuvenator, let him know that he has a market for his product!
