I don't like to flame on another Amiga user, so this won't be too 'hot', but hey, a lot of us out here like 2.0! Not to mention a lot of us really like the A3000. The one thing I wish I had is the update from 36.141, I know other people who also have a 3000 that want that update too, apparantly it is not readily available except to developers. The store I deal with knows nothing about it….

My 3000 was one of the first ones to be shipped with a 50 meg Quantum, nd it was shipper with : Kickstart V. 36.143 Workbench V. 36.68 I am not a developer, and I got my 3000 in the educational plan. Hope thats of use. Go to your store and ask them to open one of their new machine s and give you a copy of the new superkickstart disk…

Sure 2.0 looks nice, but would you want to trust it until it is put into ROM? I feel IMHO (So Mark doesn't jump on me) that C= is using the user to gamma test their operating system, companies such as Apple wouldn't dare try something like this… What C= has done isn't necessarily bad, they should've warned the user a little more about the state of 2.0, that's all. We have some perfectly legitimate install scripts that work under 1.3 but fail under 2.0 because C= decided they wanted to change something. We get *TOO MANY* calls at the office about certain products not working under 2.0, someone should have informed these people about the state of "release 2.0". Tom Gandey, Gold Disk For now, I'll say no more until I get 2.02 (should be anytime now).

I think most people that own 3000s realize exactly what they are getting in 2.0. Remember, all 3000s currently shipped still have 1.3 on it, and when they do the final shift to ROMs, *all* Amys will have 2.0, so that will be the OS to target. John

If you'd like to get 'beta' updates, become a developer. Victor A. Wagner, Jr.

I would just like to get updates that have been released, and products like my copy of AmigaVision that should have been here some time back. CBM needs to work on keeping their paying customers up to date on software.

that's exactly the point. NO updates have been 'released', they are still 'beta'.
