Actually, the A1000 was the very first Amiga. It was followed by the A2000 - full-featured
with a full case, and the A500, the entry level machine.

So, they added functionality later with the 2000. Not sure about the 500's nomenclature, but
the A1000 was the first in line. It wasn't a "stripped down" model. Well, it shipped with
256k of ram, but you could add ram through the front hatch.....
