Ok, I have heard rumors (Any pre-release info from CA comes as rumors...)
about the upcoming V1.3 Operation System.  But which ones are true?
Such as:
      -Workbench get kicked out
      -Shell-like user interface
      -Better drivers
         -Printers
         -Preferences control of
      -Better graphics
         -More support for:
            -Overscan
            -HAM
            -1/2 brite
      -Less GURUS? (PLEASE!)
      -Disk access
         -Floppy? Any better on reading filenames?
         -Fast Format - for HD's only?
      And one thing I have to suggest:
            -A *MUCH* better picture of the hand holding a disk
             that should not say WORKBENCH (it should be a generic
             looking boot disk)
Now all of those things are nice, but what I would very much like to know
is 1) When will it be released?  2) Will new Amigas (500,2000) come with
V1.3 once it is out?
Thanks for clearing the mist...
