RUMOR!!!RUMOR!!!RUMOR!!!RUMOR!!!RUMOR!!!RUMOR!!!RUMOR!!!RUMOR!!!
Can anybody verify anything about the possible rumor I caught last
night about C-A not shipping OS1.3, and actually just waiting,
adding a few more thinggys, and calling it 1.4?
(of course there's always the possibility that this has been
discussed extensivly as of late, and this stupid/cruddy/!$#@!%
newsfeed is just really poor...)

By the way, are the ROMs in sockets (for easy upgrading, obviously)? I haven't checked inside my B2000 because I don't want to void my lengthy warranty which expires in, uh, .....uh, uh, ....in, ****whoops**** it expired already!!! Hmmm, I wonder how long until the competition forces warranties into longer periods of time, such as has happenned in the automobile wars.
