- Right now, it's still pretty darned important. I just got 2.04 a couple of
- days ago - thanks to me being on a waiting list for a few months. But what
- about those who can't upgrade yet?
- I think that it's a bit early for "2.0-only" major applications. PD stuff
- and little utilities, yes. But not stuff like WP's.

- Now new *machines* we need ... I'm not impressed with the 3000 ... :)
