Does anyone have official information about what it is going to cost to upgrade to the new release of MacX ? I'm a bit concerned, my dealer told me that Apple says "there is no upgrade path" - he said he had been told that it was 200+ dollars to get 1.1. Needless to say both he and I are miffed, particularily since 1.0.1 retails at around 295$. I called the apple 800 number (800-776-2333) and the person at the other end told me that "there appears to be no upgrade path at this time".. she was checking on apple-link at that moment. --jay

I have just gotten the semi-official word that the MacX 1.0 -> 1.1 upgrade is $145 and is order #M01043LL/A. It ships in February, I believe. For those of you who are interested, here's the complete list as I have it right now: X Window System for A/UX 2.1 M0411LL/B $349 X Window System for A/UX Manuals M0748LL/B 100 MacX 1.1 M0108LL/B 295 MacX Manuals M0602LL/A 85 MacX 1.1 Update M01043LL/A 145 X Site License 4000 X Right to copy 55/per MacX 1.1 is shipping late in this month (January, 1991). X Window System for A/UX is shipping then too (or perhaps first week of February). X Window System for A/UX includes MacX 1.1. So does A/UX 2.0.1 which is shipping sometime in this calendar quarter (sorry I can't be more specific). -- Alan Mimms (alan@apple.com, ...!apple!alan) | My opinions are generally A/UX X group | pretty worthless, but Apple Computer | they *are* my own...
