Id rather wait, and have improved compatibility with 1.3 than to have them do a rush job and screw us all with buggy roms. Let the boys take their time. Theres no question as to if theyre going to deliver quality. From 2.03 ROM kickstarts (I run my 1.3 Amiga on a kickstart 2.03 disk 100% of the time now.. Ive all but left 1.3) and its DAMN impressive to me, still, even after ive used it for 3 weeks. Have some friends who are Mac and IBM Windows officianados who practically drool over how much of a mother of a system ive pumped up my A2000 to be with 2.0... You know the old saying.. Time moves twice as slow when youre expecting something really great to happen.. Think of it this way: Patience builds charecter. Even with 2.0 roms, there will STILL be enough room for Jell-O in my A2000. Arctangent (Naperville, Illinois, USA)
