Now, I can say that 2.0 IS stable. I should say the newest versions are MORE stable than 1.3, but 2.0 isn't quite ready yet. Commodore is doing an ad- mirable job of holding off the urge to push something out the door, and for good reason. The "hold up" is being caused by the developers. Commodore has wisely decided that 2.0 should run as much 1.3 software as possible. To release 2.0 prematurely would have certainly caused a MAJOR stink, you know those who say "I have such and such's gadgety doo that I paid mega-bucks for and it doesn't work under 2.0!" Granted some things ARE going to break, there are no ways around it, but at least C= is trying to get the stuff to work. In summary: Be patient you'll be happy that C= took the time to get "it" right.
