On the thought of the new WorkBench release, I wonder if it wouldn't
be possible to post the updates on an ftp site somewhere.  There are
several reasons:

1.  These disks are A3000 specific and I do not see them going anywhere
    except to owners of these machines.

2.  My dealer is working with Workbench 36.10 and

	REFUSES

    to contact Commodore to get these upgrades.  He is the only dealer
    within miles of me and it is a tribute to the distributorship at
    CBM that he is unaware of any upgrades since 36.10.  I cannot
    upgrade past 36.10 *even if* I want to pay for it.

3.  It is free.

4.  (almost worst than no reason)  A certain big name computer maker
    which is retentive to the point of being paranoid about its holdings
    and products posts it's latest system upgrades to public ftp sites
    where users can access them.  Are there any practical considerations
    against doing the same thing?  <<flame>> Think of happy customers,
    if it is a rare enough thing :-( <flame off>>

5.  At least send an upgrade to users who might request it.  I called
    CBM and was told: "Wait until your dealer gets it."  I have no
    intention of spending Christmas with the first version of WB2.0.
    (The Myth of the ROM will be something not to anxiously expect to
    receiving unless it is a lifelong dream)


Would someone be willing to send me the Kickstart and WB 2.03 disks?
I am a registered A3000 owner and I will pay for disks and shipping.

That's all.  Flames will be sent to /dev/null.

Thanks very much,
Veenu
