Hmmm.. you mean people were comparing 2.0 with other things before it was
released?  it seems to me that commodore had such a tight clamp on anything
leaking out that when AmigaWorld reported that it wasn't going to be 1.4 but
2.0 everyone claimed they were lying.  when it finally was announced it was a
big shock to most of us, and was shipping with 3000's the next month.
