Message-ID: <249@ssc-bee.UUCP> Date: Mon, 22-Oct-84 13:05:13 CST Date-Received: Sun, 28-Oct-84 22:07:46 CST Distribution: net Organization: Boeing Aerospace Co., Seattle, WA Lines: 31 Just when you may have thought it was safe to purchase a 512k Mac and not have to worry about future upgrades comes this disturbing aside in the October Dtack Newsletter: "... the genuine Fat Mack, which was (and still is?) scheduled for production early in 1985 was to have had a logic board redesign to quadruple the data rate of its serial port, for instance. Introduction of the 'Plump Mack' this early reeks of a desparation move to placate frustrated software designers. Incidentally, going from 128k to 512k is a 384k upgrade regardless of what prevaricators may say."
