[Yes, Dave, I KNOW it's a marketing question :-)]

Have there been any figures released by Commodore yet as to the pricing of the 
2.0 upgrade?  The rumours floating around here (from an authorized Commodore 
dealer) are $200 Can$ for JUST the software, with the Kickstart ROM being an 
additional charge on top of that (plus installation, of course).  With the ROM 
not being an optional feature, I don't understand why they should even be 
packaged separately.  The price seems rather high, especially in light of the 
previous upgrades (1.0 to 1.1 was free, 1.2 and 1.3 were quite inexpensive 
(less than $70 combined), 1.3.2 was free).

Any info greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
