The new version (~$ 40, DM 79) is definitivly worth getting.
There are a lot of enhancements everywhere, like a Shell (CLI with
editing and history), faster and better printer drivers, a new and
MUCH faster filesystem for HD's, etc.
The documentation is also alot better than the 1.2 docs.
Besides, buying the 1.3 upgrade will make CBM believe that OS updates
can at least be to some degree financed by the users.

Something I don't understand. In your base note 2666.0 you said
that your husband bought the Amiga five days previous; which (if
my arithmetic is up to it) is 12 days ago. Unless there was some
special deal, I would have thought that the Amiga should have come
with WB 1.3; certainly all the systems (that I know of) in the UK
ship with this version (they may not ship with Kickstart 1.3 ROMS).
I bought mine about 1.5 months ago; it came with WB 1.3.
I think in one of your replies to 2666, you said that your husband
took the machine back to the supplier, who then built the system
for him. Could they have put WB 1.2 on by mistake?
Did you get any 3.5" Floppy discs that have something like Workbench
V1.3 written on them?

| In answer to the last question
When my husband bought the Amiga, the only disks we were given was
Workbench V1.2 and an Extras Disk, a MS-DOS and GW BASIC 5.25" floppy
Do you think I should go back to the shop and enquire why we did
not get V1.3?

| The printer drivers are much faster in 1.3, also...and there is a
bigger selection of printers available.
