Paul, I AM surprised.  The information about the availability of the 2090
add-on for autoboot was given 2-3 months ago by Commodore representatives
at a variety of User Group meetings. News of the board was also given
by the former President, Max Toy, and printed in a variety of Amiga related 
Magazines.  About 2-3 months ago, Commodore representatives on Usenet
confirmend that such a board was in the works, though no release date
was given.  The ONLY new information that was given out at DevCon '89 was
the actual "name" of the board. If you look at my message that is EXACTLY
what I "omitted" from my posting.  You also say "the information you quoted
is probably generally public" and THEN you are "surprised" that I am posting
it?  Hey, Paul, do your research a little better next time before accusing 
somebody of non compliance with the implicit non-discolosure for DevCon '89
material. If you go back and look at my messages about DevCon '89, you'll
see that there is nothing there that is not "general knowledge".

How about a cool, quick apology? Thank you.
