Just a few questions after following this thread: 1) What is a "FAT AGNES" 2) What are the "fat" chips 3) How did one member get a ?2000 with them. 4) What is the difference between an A2000 vs B2000. I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada: The only discount option I have found is the A/B software packages. Since I have an A1000, which I really don't want to part with, and the packages, whilst representing good value, don't fill my needs I would end up paying top dollar for an A2000! Therefore if anyone could direct me to a reputable dealer in either Detroit or near Niagra Falls, New York I would greatly appreciate it. I wouldn't mind the drive to save upwards of $1000 cdn. I agree there seems to be a dichotomy of purpose in CBM's marketing. Not only am I saddled with a 75 cent dollar I can't get a cash discount. Any scheme that contributes to more CBM users has to be of benefit. If I sell before I buy CBM has gained one: If I keep and buy CBM has gained 2. (that somebody who would have bought mine buys a discounted new one – A500 – I get a A2000; my son takes over the A1000….and so the world turns). regards: Michael PS: please don't direct me to some dealer list! I need recommendations; ie: NAME + TELEPHONE Thanks 'ALL'
