	The gross delay in ROMing 2.x bothers me too, but at the same time
I appreciate the fact that C= is really cleaning up the code. ROMing can be
expensive and the thought of having to change the ROMs in my A2000 more than
once doesn't really grab me. V2.04 does run great, but its a pain to use on
a full time basis, because I have to load the 2.0 kickstart image into memory
first. This means a lengthier boot time and I'm totally against that. Me and
the GURU are on a first name basis! So while Mark taunted us with the state-
ment:

>MARK>It runs fine on my A2000... I guess you will have it when 'it's ready'.

...it's a mixed blessing (IMHO).
