That's the sort of thing I was referring to when I used the word "upgrade".
When I say I haven't done anything to it, it doesn't have so much as a single
chip that wasn't in it when it left the loading dock at Commodore.

(I've already bought a 3000, back in August. Hey, what's the word on this
 new warranty for older "professional" Amigas? I'm getting mixed signals.)

I would have preferred an official 1000 kickstart disk, though, if you don't
mind a brief foray into fantasy mode...
