You folks who are paranoid about keeping your //e motherboards remind me of someone who buys a 1986 car and decides to trade it in for a 1987 model but keeps the engine and transmission because s/he paid for it. Grow up! -------

By the time you add that all up you might as well buy a new one. On top of that we run the risk of losing compatibility with some of our software. What it boils down to is that Apple is TAKING our motherboards rather than giving us a fair TRADE for them. The same applies to the enhancement upgrades- at $70 I expect my original roms back again. As for growing up, it appears that MY growth rate is not proportional to my wallet's... Colin (Still growing)
