  That is exactly the attitude that got IBM's OS/2 where it isn't today..
  Actually, this isn't a very fair comparison to Commodore.  Programs that
were written correctly for 1.3 will WORK under 2.0.  But there's really no
point asking CBM for all these neat features if you're not going to use
them.  You wanna use 1.2 and 1.3 forever?
