That would take all the fun out of this group (well, there's always Marc bashing, but that's getting old...) 8-) Seriously, it's hard to really expect A500 owners to sit by quietly without getting just a bit anxious about running 2.0. To them, I'd suggest that they consider CBM's track record on cost of upgrading their OS. I'm one of the ones that started out with WB/KS 1.0 (That's right, one-point-ZERO) and have upgraded to 1.1 (free!), 1.2, and 1.3. While the upgrades to 1.2 and 1.3 were not free, they were certainly reasonably priced considering that each upgrade contained three disks and a manual. From this past record, I'm willing to trust that CBM will make the latest upgrades available when the time is right. And I'll bet that the price will be reasonable for what you get. Of course, there will always be a few net-complainers that will moan about not getting everything for free, but then that's the cross we have to bear for owning a price-competitive machine. --- Cal ____ HOBBIT / / / 340 Meg Online HOLE / / / 12/24/9600HST bps AMIGA: ____ / / / Exclusively Amiga \ \ \/ / / "Best Amiga BBS in FL" The computer for the BEST of us! \ \ \/ / July, 1989 Final List(tm) \_\_\/ A comfortable place to meet --------------------------------------------------------------------- NW Florida's first Amiga BBS running on NW Florida's FIRST AMIGA!
