	This doesn't sound like something you can blame Commodore
about. Just because your dealer refuses, as you say, to even call
Commodore, doesn't mean CBM didn't try to inform them. It isn't
hard to imagine that the manager, or whoever reads the mail at
the store, didn't inform anyone else about it.
	Having CBM distribute 2.0 widely is a different question
than your dealer's competence.
