Is this true? How about a response from someone at CBM? If not, cast my vote for the A1000->A2000 trade in.... --- // Jeff White "It's amazing how much 'mature \X/ Only The Amiga makes it all possible wisdom' resembles being too UUCP: ...amdahl!bungia!choam!jwhite tired."

Not quite. The real deal the first time around was: Amiga 1000 serial number + $1150 = B2000. (A1000 + 1000 = B2000, buyback for $150.) : --- : Michael Gersten uunet.uu.net!denwa!stb!michael : sdcsvax!crash!gryphon!denwa!stb!michael : Coff Coff <=== Stop smoking.

Omnitek Computers, a dealer in Tewksbury MA and Salem NH had an ad in the local (Lawrence MA) paper last night about a trade in offer. It said something like: Trade in your Amiga 500 or 1000 and we will give you $1000 towards the purchase of an Amiga 2000, or trade in your other CBM computer (C64, 128, plus 4, etc) and we will give you $500 (or maybe $600, I forget) towards the purchase of an Amiga 2000. Pretty wild deal, eh? You can buy an Amiga 500 and sell it back to them for $1000, or so it seems, or get rid of that C64 you've still got in your closet. DON'T ASK ME for any more info - I'm just telling you what I saw in the ad last night. Call directory assistance if you want their phone number. Oh -- the ad said something like quantities limited, or limited time, or something like that. Other dealers might have similar offers. ..Bob -- Bob Page, U of Lowell CS Dept. page@swan.ulowell.edu ulowell!page "What a wonder is USENET; such wholesale production of conjecture from such a trifling investment in fact." -- Carl S.
