What evidence do you have that it took a long time for Amiga 1000 owners
to update from 1.1 to 1.2?  Every Amiga owner I knew was eager to upgrade.
All of the local dealers would sell out a shipment of Enhancer packages
(50 - 100 copies) within two days of receiving them.  I knew people who
called every dealer listed in Amazing computing to see if they had
upgrades in stock.

Lately, all of the local dealers have been going crazy because every
other customer for the last few months has been asking about 1.3.  I
expect that new versions of the OS are very quickly accepted by the
Amiga community.

I expect Workbench 1.3 will become nearly universal within 3 months
of introduction (the limiting factor will be availability of upgrade
kits).  Hard to predict how many people will bother with the ROM upgrade
since the only change there is autoboot.
