[fa.info-mac] Macintosh 512K Upgrade

    I've just talked to Apple, and as of today, the 512K upgrade is available
for the Macintosh.  The price?  A whopping $995.  They explained that this
is simply the difference in price (not cost) between their two models of 
Macintosh, the 512K and the 128K models.  Your only consolation is that as
a old-timer, you will be able to get MacDraw/MacProject free with the upgrade.
Big deal!  I don't know about you, but I have no need for MacDraw nor 
MacProject.  I told them that they need to come up with a fairer solution 
before I and everybody else who doesn't want MacDraw and MacProject will
upgrade.  I think if enough people complain, then they will change their
minds.  I suggested that instead of limiting us to one software package, we
should get a voucher for N dollars of the software of our choice. Perhaps
you can come up with other solutions.  If you disagree with this fascist
policy of Apple's as I do, please let them know.  There is power in numbers!
