You like all the rest who have complained about the upgrade have
missed the whole point of my post! By taking advantage of the
power-up program the only thing you give up is desk space. You get
$1500 towards a great machine and YOU GET TO KEEP YOUR OLD MACHINE.....
You tell me what is given up here????????
He is just Bi%$hing!!!!!!!!!!

So we must sell our machines in order to make the price difference. In buying the 3000, even the cheaper one, we would have to give up our old machines anyway. So questions of compatibility and expandibility are quite valid here.
