Sorry, bub.  The A2000 Coprocessor slot was designed specifically with the 
intent of adding a 68020 card.  No kludge necessary.  If you want a 68020 
or 68030 on an A500, then you might start talking about kludges, but such 
terminology doesn't apply to the 2000.

But I do agree with the point of your message.  While the percentage of A500
users who don't buy their software is almost certainly higher than that of
A1000 or A2000 owner, it's not fair to say that's what all A500 owners do.
The A500 can be just as serious an Amiga as a similarly equipped A1000 or
A2000, and it may end up costing less for that configuration.
