How many other companies "give away" updates like CBM is doing with 1.3.2? Have you seen what the new TOS for Atari is going for, or DOS for IBM, or System x.x for the Muc? Apple actually gives away new releases of the System on commercial services such as Compuserve. If you want the fancy version of the release, on disks with Apple labels together with pretty printed books in an attractive box, you pay money at your local Apple dealer. This is nothing different than the way Commodore is currently doing things, and I hear few Apple owners complain about the way Apple distributes their updates. Leave Commodore alone. They go through considerable effort to prepare a maintenance release of 1.3, and all you people can do is bitch and moan. --M -- __ \/ Michael Portuesi Silicon Graphics Computer Systems, Inc. portuesi@SGI.COM "$16,000!
