I noticed Creative Computers' Ad in September AmigaWorld, has a special deal
on ProNet/ProBoard:  Buy ProNet ($289) and get ProBoard Free till Aug.31,1990

They also have junior versions of these products at ~$100(us) each.
I'm thinking about getting the pro version, at the special deal price, but
was wondering if it may not turn out to be such a great deal after all?
Could the junior versions be better (they're newer?), Could it be that the
professional version's don't work correctly under the new 2.0 AmigaOS, and
the upgrade fee will be >= $300, I'd save?  I probably wouldn't use this
software enough for it to be worth $600 to me, but for $300, I might be able
to justify it.  Any comments regarding operation under 2.0, or experiences
of the junior products vs. the professional products would be welcome.

Thanks in Advance.
