- Obviously 1.3 doesn't work JUUUUUST fine for you when you can't run the
- software you want.

- 2.0 offers many more features than 1.3 does. Software developers for most
- platforms aim for upward compatibility, not downward compatibility. After all,
- newer releases typically add features, not remove them.

- I am quite satisifed with 2.04. It offers me the features and stability that
- earlier releases didn't. I've owned an Amiga since 1985 (I'm on my 3rd system
- now), and the improvements in the OS are quite significant. It just keeps
- getting better and better...
