     Let's be realistic.  Commodore is offering $1000 off their list price.
You turn in everything except your monitor and hand over $999.  In return
you get an Amiga 2000.  Maybe you can make a deal with the dealer to keep
everything except the keyboard.  But you can keep your entire Amiga 1000
and buy a 2000 with 1 meg of RAM for $1299.  So the trade-in is really
worth about $300--less if the 2000 you get with the trade in doesn't have a
meg of RAM.

     It's impressive that Commodore has twice offered a trade-in on the
Amiga 1000.  Not many computer companies have done as much for their older
customers.  But let's quit exaggerating the value of the trade in.
Commodore is offering a trade-in allowance of $300 for your Amiga 1000, not
$1000.
