"Computer companies …. rarely take trade-ins…." Except Commodore, who at least has offered a trade-up for the A1000 owners twice now. I took advantage of it, as I'm sure many others here did as well. Despite whatever else is said about Commodore marketing, they did that right, and I appreciate them for it. There's also the 'PowerUp' offer, but I see that as more of a marketing gimmick, rather than a true trade-up. I'm sure other computer companies have also offered trade-ups (Apple comes to mind, but their deal wasn't so good) as well, but Commodore has consistently supported the Amiga community in this regard, I think. –jp–seattle–
