Is there also not a caveat that the disk to kick from 1.3 into 2.0 is
not available?  Will CBM release KS2.0 on floppy at all?  Will CBM
release the program needed to kick such a floppy?  I have a friend from
which I could probably get the programs (illegally), but I suspect that
the vast majority of loyal A1000 owners won't have such an option.

Just the ability to kick 2.0, however inconveniently, so that I could
test my programs under 2.0, would be nice.  Give me a year, and I'll be
out of here and have a job where I can afford a new A3000, so the
question of obsolecence in 3 years is not a problem for me.
