Hi!
	An Ian hinted yesterday, WB 2.0 (1 or 2 copies) is available in
Melbourne (Computa Magic in Moonee Ponds).  Well, I rang them, and they
told me to wail till Monday, 'cos they were preordered.  Well, glancing
through the Green Guide, High Tech (boo hiss) in Brighton claimed to have
it in stock.  Amazingly, they actually did *and* they weren't charging more
than the going rate ($149)!  Well, I was down there pretty fast.  They
have ~60 copies, "30 of which are spoken for".  After my visit, this leaves
29 copies :-).  How long they will last is anyone's guess.  The bit about
reformatting the HD is a hassle though (to take advantage of the even faster
FFS) - how painless is this with a Quantum + GVP Series II controller?  Is
it safe to use the CBM-supplied programs?
