David,
     I'm planning to get the 2.0 ROMs when they become available.  I *HATE*
having to wait 5 seconds for 2.0 to load off disk.  Remember, those of us
who own 3000s did buy them to save time, 5 seconds is 5 seconds.  ;-)
Seriously though, I'd rather have the 512K that 2.0 takes up in RAM and I'd
rather have 2.0 be in ROM so it's not getting trashed by run-away programs.
