Both Amiga programmers, who'll fix any 2.0 bugs -they find, and applications programmers, who should fix their 1.3 bugs that -break under 2.0. Once 2.0 is ROMed, there will be no need to support 1.3 -anymore. Good companies will have released bug fixes to their software where -necessary, and not-so-good companies will be telling you the kind of support -you'll get from them in the future. If no-one is supporting 1.3, and the 1000 can't run 2.0, it sounds as if you are trying to completely force my machine out of the market. Or, I guess it all depends on the software manufacturer to try to come up with products that will work on both the 1.3 OS (for those of us who can't change) and 2.0 OS for those who must change. Feel free to mail me telling me that I am not seeing straight, the amiga 1000 will be able to run 2.0, and I have nothing to worry about with my configuration. :-) brian moffet uunet!sco!brianm
