knock knock. anyone home?
first of all, it sounds like you're running mostly games on your machine.
that would explain the "i hardly ever notice the speed difference."
"10% of my software works" sounds alot like poorly written games. also
remember that 2.0 isn't finished yet. the "current" 2.0 is around 95%
compatible with all the games we could get our hands on. and all the music
programs work now - and midi stuff works vastly better under 2.0 than under
1.3.
do you always get this upset when something goes "on sale" after you paid
normal price for it?

-----------------------------------
Bull, bull, bull,
I bought mine last month under the new (or so I thought) student deal.
Price of the 3000 came down 100 dollars and the monitor went up
about the same price from the month before (I wonder if I can
get some money on my system if they lower the price anymore
(I bought on a gold card that gives you back upto 500 dollars
if you find a lower priced item, sooo if I can find the 3000
on student deal or from the special deal [maybe] for a lower price
this would make me satisfied.
My productivity packages outnumber my games, to give you an idea.
I run TAD, which will not work on OS 2.0 (the art department, acronym).
Xoper (PD) will not work. The Text cut&paste feature leaves much
to be desired (snipit, PD, can do better under 1.3).
The new look is alright, but the compatibility problems are
numerous. For instance, I can't run Intuitracker (NoiseTracker
module player) while working on a terminal program (use
N-comm, and wish I could use VLT but it will not work with the
system period). Where is there a utility on WB 2.0 that does
what such programs as fixdisk will do, only disk doctor
will do it (but that isn't too great). There needs to be a better
way of hooking that power switch to the button in front of the
3000 (it fell off the second day I had the system, then I had to repair
it). The monitor failed on the first day and the system software
was not properly loaded. I couldn't find anyway to suspend the
way I wanted my directories to come up (name, Icon, etc).
PKAZIP (PD/SW) will not work under 2.0 (note: this is the only
existing ZIP compression/uncompression program available for
amiga's, most all the BBS's localy will not accept .arc or .zoo).
Most times the only programs that will work on OS 2.0 are the
intuitionized ones. So far, the only game that I would like to run
on OS 2.0 is my DRIP {which is also PD/SW}. It is amazing
that under 1.3, I can run a program called Zoom that is only 1.5 K
big and is more useful to me than MACH III and OS 2.0 combined.
