Keywords:upgrade cost strategy Recently I have been calling around to apple dealers trying to get a price on a 512K conversion. While the sum of $900 is sort of awesome It's falls with Apple's strategy as usuall. But as I hear rumors about Apple's plan to discontinue the upgrade in December I am worried. As a college student I don't see a way to afford the upgrade by December.(Does anyone want a 512K!!!!!!!!!!...... Just Joking.......). Has anyone heard anything on this? Thank-you, Daniel Gibson Important Safety Tip: Better to buy MAC than to buy IBM!!!!!!!! -- Dan G.

At MacHack West, the tech support folks denied that the upgrades would be discontinued, saying they'd tracked it down recently. I would rather get an upgrade sooner rather than later. However, you don't have to buy the whole kit at once. In particular, you never need the keyboard, and the Level 2 can wait. It's only the Level 1 that's really necessary right away (a third party memory upgrade would be nice). If your dealer says you can only buy one with the other, try another dealer. -- Joel West (c/o UCSD) Palomar Software, Inc., P.O.
