   What happened to all that talk on the net a while back about Commodore
hiring the author of GPRINT to do a new & vastly improved printer.device
(and printer drivers) for AmigaOS2.0?  Has Commodore decided to can that,
too?

   This is starting to get rediculous.  One by one, most of the features
that Commodore said were "in there" with respect to AmigaOS 1.4 have
been eliminated from AmigaOS2.0.  First the structured fonts, then the
improved speech synthesis, and now the printer support.  Has Commodore
improved anything in AmigaOS besides the Workbench?

   Ever since developers started getting their beta 2.0 releases, I've
been hearing "you're gonna love it" from all of them.  But, the more
I keep hearing about it, the more certain I am that I am gonna hate
it.
