First the disclaimer: I had my wife call C= today to find out whne we are finally getting our AmigaVision that was supposed to come with the A3000 we bought. (I waited 1/2 hour on the line to customer support and gave up!) While on the phone my wife asked about the WB 2.0 ROMs. 1. The woman on the other end did not seem al that knowledgable about things in general, and 2. my wife isn't very well versed in the Amiga yet either. Now the HOT NEWS: the customer support person said that the 2.0 'just came in' and they will be 'shipping it in batches within a week' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ps., she had no information on our AmigaVision except that they recently started shipping it to people who did not get it with the machine .... Cross your fingers! Jim

Sorry, but she has no idea what she is talking about. Commodore has just released version WB2.02 to developers last week. This is a new version of the OS and since developers have just received it, that means it has just begun Beta testing. However, we did also receive a letter stating that they expect 2.02 to be solid enough to go to ROM and that could happen as early as the new year (don't expect it for Christmas). > > >Ps., she had no information on our AmigaVision except that >they recently started shipping it to people who did not >get it with the machine .... > They have just stepped up production of AmigaVision and will be catching up back-orders (people who should have already received it) through October. All 3000's going out now ARE being shipped WITH AmigaVision. If you are owed a copy, expect it by the end of October. ============================================================================== \ / \ \ / / Sean Schur \ \ / / \ \/ / USENET: schur@isi.edu \ /a\mpyr/ Compuserve: 70731,1102 \/ \ / ideo Plink: OSS259 \/ ==============================================================================

I thought a posted an article last Friday saying that I had received in the mail my copy of AmigaVision to go with my A3000, and that I didn't think that I was special enough to be the only one getting it. :-) -- -Dale Larson (dlarson@blake.u.washington.edu)

If it's any support of the rumour, the current version of 2.0 (2.02) says that next week it will be shipping. Rick Tillery
