In c.s.a.hardware, one guy said that 500 users should not be allowed to
upgrade to 2.0 or 1meg chip ram. Rumors that CBM marketing has similar views
have surfaced in the past. but, to the best of my knowledge these rumors have
not been denied in print. Given this, no one should be blamed for not using
2.0 features.
