There are nasty rumors flying around... one, will new A500's be shipped
with 2.0 when it is released? A rumor stated that A500's will continue
to be shipped with 1.3 Kickstart in order to keep it compatible with
the video games (?!!) Two, when 2.0 is released, what is the likely
cost of the upgrade? As I recall 1.2 -> 1.3 was something like $40,
and that included new ROM chips as well as the new Workbench. Now
someone has posted saying that the 1.3 -> 2.0 upgrade will cost
"a couple hundred dollars." This is almost as bad as no upgrade at
all; most A500 owners, and many A2000 owners, would probably be
reluctant to pay such an exorbitant price. Please tell me it's just
a rumor, and nothing more...
