While you say the move to AGA is hopefully an exception as far as users having to replace their whole (older) machines to get that feature, I'm not so sure. Remember that while the A500 and A2000 were GREAT for users and <grin> third party companies who could make lots of add-ons that would make those machines viable for years, that's not actually what Commodore wants, since they'd rather have people in a position where they must upgrade the whole machine, because that translates into more business for them. Having third parties continue to make old hardware viable is not good for Commodore. That's why the continual rampage of newer Intel processors and more demanding software has been nirvana for hardware companies, who know that sooner or later the customers are going to come back.
