	Remember that 2.0 on the A3000 is soft-loaded - i.e. not in rom.
Burning roms is expensive (especially big roms), and also you don't want to
have to change roms often (it's expensive for you, too).  Waiting for an A2000
(rom) version gives Commodore more time so we can be sure the roms released
will be as stable as possible.  A3000's can be upgraded easily until the rom
version is ready.

	I think you're over-reacting - the delay for 16-bit roms is not
a marketing ploy.  Keep calm, they're coming.
