I thought I would add my comments on WB 2.04.
Rang Maxwells (Melbourne) on Friday afternoon 4pm and order a copy of WB2.04.
Cost was $147 plus $5 postage - not bad considering I can't get to Melbourne
in a car for $5.
It arrived on Tuesday via Australia Post (Certified Mail)
I read the instructions twice and then set about the task of installing it.
The KickStart ROM was in in 10 minutes - however take care in following the
instructions depending on the revision of the motherboard (A500).
The software installation took about 30 minutes - and I didn't even have to
reformat my hard disk.
Now the hard part - customising the new system - I think that will take me
about a week.

From what I have seen so far - the documentation is excellent, much better
than anything I have seen from Commodore before.
I haven't had the chance to test all my programs, but the few things I have
run, eg. PageStream and a number of small utilities seem to be OK.  One thing
I must get hold of is a compatible version of NoClick - the two disk drives
are driving me crazy!
BTW - It seems to be a more stable system than 1.3

catch ya later
