Jon,
I know I'm going to get some heat on this…but yes, the A1000 will
soon become a 'has been'. It's a fine machine, and it is obviously an Amiga,
but it has limits and those limits can't easily be bypassed, such as a new
chipset that can address a full Meg of CHIP RAM.
There just aren't enough of them out there for hardware manufacturers
to invest the amount of money needed for new hardware add-ons to the A1000 so I
think you'll see any new items for the A1000 dry up.
The A500 is 'really an Amiga', but also has it's limits. A weak power
supply for add-ons and the 'all in one' design could cause some problems in the
future.
