	Well I was'nt exactly jumping with joy. I was aware of the
	enhancements in 2.0 before I received the upgrade notice.
	Rotateing text/graphics? Is'nt the code for doing that 
	already in ProDraw 2.0? (Just bring it over to ProPage 2.0 right?)

	What else, TAG's probably very usefull for heavy users.
	Big fonts? Well, if I ever need 725pt type, then OK....
	
	So personally, importing 24bit graphics is the best
	improvement. 
	But $75.00 for the upgrade? 
	When are we going to see things like trapping and masking?
	If Gold Disk seriously want to compete with the Mac world
	of DTP, it had better get on the ball and start coming out
	with features that have been out for a long time on the Mac.
	Now that would be usefull, at least to me.
