	Remember, I speak for myself, not Commodore-Amiga Inc or Commodore
Business Machines.  That said, I advise strongly against believing rumors
such as those.  Commodore does not go around denying every rumor that springs
up, nor should they (nor should I have to).  As to the timing of 2.0 going into
specific machines, I can't talk to that point, but I can say that Commodore
gets input on things like that at Developer's Advisory Council meetings (one
of which was just held recently).

	2.0 is the future of the Amiga.
