	YES, there is going to be an A500 upgrade to 2.0.  NO, the release
date has not been announced yet by the Marketing people.  This has been
posted several times by CBM people.

	NOW COMES THE FLAME.

	Greg, if all you have is "hearsay", then why the hell are you
posting it to the entire world?!?!?!?!?  If all you wanted was
"confirmation", you should have sent MAIL to someone from CBM.  They are
posting all the time, and their e-mail addresses are in their postings.

	Now, thanks to your posting, thousands of people on the Net are
going to wonder about the A500 upgrade, rumors are going to start flying,
and generally bad press about Awful Commodore Who Doesn't Care About Its
Customers is going to start up again.

	Please THINK before you post potentially harmful hearsay to
the Net.
