Mark, I think Tenex is still in business but out of mailorder. Your best bet on a 2000 is to buy one already outfitted as you describe from somebody advertising here in the classifieds of this forum. Otherwise, figure to outfit it yourself. The latest version of Kickstart and Workbench are available through other mailorder houses, see the latest issue of Amiga- World or Amazing Computing. I have only ordered from Tenex in the past but a friend has recieved good service from Software Hut and Creative Computers among others. Most everybody outfits their Amiga a bit differ- ently, so you may have to do some ordering to get everything like you want it. As for hanging on to your 500, you probably would be better off waiting until you have your 2000 outfitted like you want it, you may be able so scavenge a few things from it and save some money on a hard drive or possibly a 2.04 or 2.1 chip should you decide to stay on that OS. Most of the stuff that just plugs into the 500 isn't going to work on a 2000 though so don't plan on saving a whole lot of money that way. Best of luck! Sean Kelly
