If so many Amigas are sold with the extra RAM then why have all of the Amiags
posted For Sale on usenet only have 512K??
I disagree that most A500s go out of the store with the extra memory.
People buy the A500 because they are cheap, and because Commodore has done
a GREAT job ADVERTISING (Atari doesn't advertise!!) the machines. But adding another
200-300 bucks would place the A500 in the 1040ST price range.
