The computer for the best of us. ===--- Well, not exactly. When the trade in deal was on I got a 2000 for $1000 and got to keep my 1000. I then sold the 1000 for $500 and swapped my microbotics 2M memory expansion (with multi-function) for a 2M Micron board. Therefore my total upgrade cost was $500, not $1000 and the guy I sold the 1000 to got the 1000, 2M Microbotics with the multifunction daughter board for around $850 all told. I think we both did well on the deal. I therefore can understand people who still have an 1000 and now have the scratch to trade to the 2000 being interested in the trade-in offer if Commodore hinted they might be willing to re-instate it because it is quite possible there might be some similar deals.
