Since it's much easier to upgrade the contents of a disk than it is to upgrade the contents of a ROM, is it any surprise that C/A is not as quick to release 2.0 in ROM as it is to release it on disk ? When the ROM-ready version of 2.0 comes out, I'll get the floppy disk for my 3000 and just install the new version. I'll have to buy the ROM for my 500, probably more expensive, definately more work. If the ROM 2.0 is buggy, it will REALLY cheese me off to have to get and install another set of ROMs for my A500. Another floppy for my A3000 would be no big deal, unless I got gouged for it. -- -- Dennis O'Connor, uunet!srg!titania!doconnor non-representative.
