What F**king babies you are!!!!!!! The Amiga 1000 is over *5* YEARS OLD. Commodore doesn't HAVE to offer this upgrade. They could simply drop the support entirely, leaving you all to your own devices. YOU PAID $1000 FOR YOUR COMPUTERS 5 years ago. Commodore is offering to buy back the KEYBOARD for $1000 NOW. Although I am a CS/Eco major, you don't need to be an economics professor to know that THEY ARE GIVING YOU A GIFT! You can KEEP your CPU. You can easilly use it to parallel process with your new CPU using PUBLIC DOMAIN software. C-A is saying: "The future of the amiga is not in the 1000, we wish to assure that ALL our customers have the opportunity to grow with us". Do you really think they can afford to give you a $2000 computer for nothing???? There are people complaining about the "loss" if you are a student who wants to upgrade at the discount price.... So sell your 1000 to someone who DOESN'T have the student discount available: YOU BOTH MAKE OUT LIKE A BANDIT. Suck it up.
