- I suggest you try anohter dealer! :) It's worth the time and effort, and I
- can't see how people can stand to *look* at 1.3, let alone use it, when 2.x

- responsible development timeline for their great OS - I hope to see a new
- version every two years or so, and public availability of "magic ROMs" -
- disk-based kickstart is an upgrade godsend, and everyone who has the RAM
- should be afforded the great benefits of using it.
