- | So then why is all this stuff now out for 2.0.. Whatever happened to downward

- Gene, RE: 2.04 Bah Humbug....
-
- HEAR-HEAR! You tell 'em! I agree. What's with these folks? Did 'they'
- figure that the installed base of existing A1000 users would all jump up,
- and throw another $2000 at the upgrade when they were already happy with
- the system they had? (that's the power up thing...not a 2.0 upgrade)
-
- I'm just glad that many of the hardware places are still supporting perifs!
-
- I once tried suggesting that a 'good' developer would try to cover the bases
- with both 1.3 and 2.0. Guess what the response was? "Catch-up with the
- *rest* of US!" <snicker> and "Why bother?"
-
- Where _WERE_ these people in '87 anyway? High shcool? Please excuse me, but
- my attitude seems to be showing.
