Blow that for a joke... why should a developer take advantage of 2.0 features if 2.0 doesn't run on the largest installed base of Amigas? Without the 500 they might as well not bother with a new O/S at all. One hopes that this guy in Germany is out of touch with C= USA here... (and I was upset enough when they abandoned the 1000... I still think an A750 (A500 in a low-profile A1000-like case and detachable keyboard) would help the image of C= immensely. The A500 looks like a C64 or Atari 800) -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' .
