This logic doesn't follow. 2.0 is already out there in thousands of A3000 computers. It's no different than the A2000 Developers versions except that the developers versions are *newer* versions that what's being shipped in current A3000's. So your buggy beta version theory doesn't wash. I would think it would be a bit more benificial for Commodore as Randall can just check Usenet here and hear of the gripes that people are having with thier *pirate* WB 2.0's and maybe he can fix them. After all, the more beta testers the better, no? I am certainly not condoning piracy but I just don't see the harm in having or using WB 2.0 on your 2000 at this point in time. If you want it, it's readily available even on Public Domain boards. -- Bob The Graphics BBS 908/469-0049 "It's better than a sharp stick in the eye!" ============================================================================ InterNet: bobl@graphics.rent.com | Raven Enterprises UUCP: ...rutgers!bobsbox!graphics!bobl | 25 Raven Avenue BitNet: bobl%graphics.rent.com@pucc | Piscataway, NJ 08854 Home #: 908/560-7353 | 908/271-8878
