	If CBM was serious? 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.
