How do I get System 6.0? I got 5.0 Free with my Mac II... can I get 6.0 from my dealer, or will it cost me $50? Same question goes for Hypercard 1.2 -- ..........................................................................

Same question goes for Hypercard 1.2 > You can go into any authorized Apple dealer with 4 blank disks AND an original system disk (dosen't matter what version) and they will copy the new system for you. If you want the manuals, and Apple labeled disks, it will cost you $50.00. If you received Hypercard with your computer, you can update to version 1.2.1 the same way, take 4 blanks disks AND your original Hypercard disks into a Apple dealer and s/he will copy the new stuff for you. New manuals or new Hypercard will cost $50.00 BTW, the reason you are taking an original disk in is so the dealer knows you own a Mac. I suppose you could take your Mac in, but the disks fit in a shirt pocket :-). Jim Kateley UUCP: {sun, voder, nsc, mtxinu, dual}!apple!kateley S,P,HnS!

If you want the manuals, and I tried to get system 6.0 from 3 authorized Apple dealers in the Naperville area. This includes the dealer I spent $5000 at buying a Mac II in March. 2 of the dealers never heard of System 6.0 and 1 had it but he said that he "wasn't ready to distribute it yet" ( I don't think he was too busy, I was the only one in the store at the time). I had better luck getting support when I had my Atari 1040 ST ( mild :^) ). I did manage to get a multifinder manual after 2 MONTHS of trying. R.T Bradstrum P.S. I have had similar luck trying to get Hypercard 1.0 upgraded.
