- So you want new machines with software that doesn't use the new
- capabilities?
-
- The time for 2.0 only apps is here. Let the machine progress. 2.0 is
- available. (Well...) If the 2.0 apps showed up C= may get those ROMS
- out with more urgency. We should be insisting on 2.04 functionality
- from the software vendors not 1.3 compatibility. This sort of foot
- dragging keeps the Amiga behind.
-
- Don't worry. Many things should continue to work under 1.3 esp. since
- the US 500 STILL have 1.3 as do the CDTVs. Hopefully this will
- change and 2.04 will be the general standard.
