Was that supposed to be taken seriously? Noone is waiting for it to come out
on ROM to write software for it. In fact, developers have been "writing for
it" since kickstart 1.4 which was released to give developers something to
go on. That was about 2 years ago. I don't think anyone will write anything
exclusively for 2.0 yet...to do so would be like writing software for the
NEXT. :) (point in hand: wouldnt be profitable to exploit 2.0's features
yet and give up 1.3 compatibility)
