Don, I realize I was running beta. Sorry if it appeared I was being other than objective on the software. I was just reporting and didn't mean to imply anything other than if you plan to see all this stuff demo'd at the dealer, well… The only other thing is that I think it is really gamma, no? Be that as it may, the packages that DO break under release 2.0 (there is no such thing as bug free software…) will be a subset of what is broken now. So some people may want to wait to plonk the dough down until the companies or CBM demostrate working release versions of software X if they can't live without it. If your "must have" software is working under the current beta/gamma (and I believe diffent dealers have different releas levels, true?) it is safe to assume it will run under the released version. Now, the subjective part of my comments…Why the mushy wimpy keayboard!!! I like my 2000 Keyboard… It pushes back! Do you know for certain if the keyboards are interchangeable? My Dealer says no, another dealer says yes and the CBM A3000 hot line says, "..er, well, ah..". wmc
