Mail them to Commodore. I think there are a couple of sales types on the net. I would probably be able to take advantage of a trade-up should Coommodore offer one around Christmas after royalties from Tracers start coming in. But I really don't expect them to... I was quite surprised at how long they kept the old offer running. -- Peter da Silva `-_-' peter@sugar.uu.net Have you hugged U your wolf today?

Guess what, KJ, nobody at CBM who needs education on this point reads the
net! So let's not clutter the bandwidth with this stuff.
If anyone wants to contact CBM regarding suggestions, mail 'em in to
West Chester. Maybe someone in CATS can designate a sucker for
you to send your pleas to the attention of.

COMMODORE ANNOUNCES LOW-COST
AMIGA UPGRADE OFFER
WEST CHESTER, Pa. -February 5, 1990- Commodore Business Machines, Inc. Vice
President of Marketing Lloyd Mahaffey today announced the introduction of a new
Amiga upgrade program offering A1000 owners the opportunity to upgrade to any
A2000 series machine at a substantially-reduced cost.
The offer, which runs now through March 31, 1990, was developed to encourage the
large base of Amiga 1000 owners to upgrade to higher- performance Amiga 2000
series machines which are designed to take advantage of future product
improvements and software offerings.
Mahaffey said the upgrade program requires A1000 owners to return their machines
to a local dealer where they can purchase an A2000 machine for as little as
$999.00* -- a discount of approximately 50% over standard retail price.
*Valid at participating dealers only; taxes not included.
"Amiga 1000 owners are among the most dedicated ppersonal computer users,"
Mahaffey said. "We developed the offer in part to energize this important base.
It is also part of a much broader strategy to establish a more dominant position
for the Amiga in an industry which is finally beginning to catch up with the
machine's superior capabilities."
Commodore shipped the Amiga 1000, the first to be introduced in the U. S., in
September 1985. In addition to it's revolutionary graphics, sound and video
capabilities, the A1000 pioneered the multimedia computer market.
Commodore launched the A2000 series in August 1987 providing the market with
expanded capabilities based on advanced technology. The most recent addition to
the line was the Amiga 2500/30 introduced in November 1989.
Commodore Business Machines, Inc., based in West Chester, Pa., manufactures and
markets a complete line of computers and peripherals for the business,
education, government and consumer markets.
The multi-tasking Amiga line includes the Commodore Amiga 500 (TM), the
Commodore Amiga 2000 (TM) and three enhanced products: The Commodore Amiga
2000HD (TM), the Commodore Amiga 2500 (TM) and the Commodore Amiga 2500/30 (TM).
Commodore's line of MS-DOS (R) compatible computers includes the Colt (TM) and
Professional Series III (TM).
AMIGA UPGRADE PRICING
Amiga 1000 owners can upgrade to the following Amiga 2000 series machines for
the prices indicated:
Machine Price
Amiga 2000 $999.00 + trade-in
Amiga 2000HD $1599.00 + trade-in

I would suspect that "product inprovements" = ECS and "software offerings" = WB/KS 1.4 and beyond. Sure 3rd parties can and will most likely come up with ways to make these improvements work on a 1000, but CBM can't continue to put resources into the 1000 and advance the Amiga line as a whole.

What is CBM going to do with the A1000 trade-ins?

Well the dealers only have to send the keyboards back to CBM in order to get their money. After that it is up to the dealer what they want to do with the CPU. Most likely they will save them for repair parts when other 1000s come in for fixup. The keyboards, well I would sure love to be able to go through the dumpsters in West Chester after March 31st.

This is being reposted without a "Distribution: usa" this time so that our friends in Canada, England, Germany, etc. are aware that this trade-in exists. I saw too many postings where people outside the US were not told of such a trade-in for their A1000s. As to whether Commodore International is participating in such an offer in your country, I guess you'll have to ask your local dealer.
