- Sure you can run OS 2.0, but go for OS 3.1 instead, it is *so* much
- better. When ordering, just make sure you say that you want the
- A500 version (the number and size of the Kickstart ROMs differ for
- different Amigas).

-
- Because Workbench only displays files with an icon. Icons are those
- files with names that end in ".info". They contain the image for the
- file and some other information (yooltypes and stack size).
-
-
- From Workbench 2.0 and up, you can make Workbench display file
- without icon too.
