Well it seems damn stable to me.  Every bug in 1.3 that our rather
largish program has discovered is fixed in the version of 2.0 that I
have.  Not only that but it runs considerably faster at some things
(ScrollRaster, PrintIText (seems to be but might be my eyes), Loading
a large file from the RamDisk, and lots of other stuff).  IMHO, at
present 2.0 is much more stable that 1.3 ever was.

The only thing that is annoying is the longer wait when switching back from an
editor window back to the shell.  It takes much longer to update the
shell window than it used to under 1.3.  This is probably due to
the nicer auto-updating window but it would be nice if this was quicker
in the ROM version (listening guys? :-) ).

BTW, have you fixed the printer driver feature that makes the
requester for the printer being off line take so long to come up? I
haven't tested this yet.
