Not true.  This *was* true under beta versions of 1.2, but very few
software packages out there won't work under 1.2.  And, sadly,
most of the programs that won't work don't work because the
programmer made some error or cheated in some way that 1.2 rejects.

I hope so too.  In fact, I believe that as soon as 1.2 is available,
they'll start putting 1.2 into the boxes.  As for the boxes that
are already sealed and sitting in some warehouse ... I say leave
them be.  I'm willing to put up with a lot of Commodore's "economy
measures" if it means that Commodore can then stay afloat and
continue to pump Amigas out the door.  Don't you agree?

Look for 1.2, gang.  It's killer.  I would like to extend my own
thanks to the many developers who acted as the Amiga QA group
during the end-run of 1.2
