Don, I recently talked to someone WITHIN the engineering department of CBM who told me that, at the moment, Medhi Ali (sp?) doesn't feel there's a market for 2.0 enhancers for the 500/2000 in the U.S., and the company has decided not to produce 2.0 enhancers kits for these computers right now–probably because of the cost of production. I know this sounds ABSURD, beyond any of the previous CBM marketing faux paus, but it is TRUE. My source is a Commodore employee who's involved with the production of 2.0. She/he suggested that all users who want 2.0 should write a POLITELY WORDED, CALM letter to Commodore marketing explaining that they and their friends DO want to buy 2.0 for their A500/2000 machines, and they WILL spend the money on it. I know this sounds crazy, but if you knew my source, you'd definitely believe me. I first heard it second-hand and went "naw…" But now I'm extremely disturbed. So folks, I'd wake up the user groups and start writing letters. …Denny (This makes me lose any faith that CBM has any concept of their marketplace, by the way.)
