[comp.sys.mac.system] System 7 in the UK

rdw89@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Williams RD) (05/14/91)

I phoned our local AppleCentre yesterday afternoon (May 13th), not
expecting much success.  Guess what?

System 7 will not be available to the UK user from the dealer (this
dealer, at least! - AppleCentre Solent) until JUNE 26th.
A 'beta' version (I was told) was being demonstrated at dealers, but
not the final.

The Personal upgrade set (incl manuals) will cost 50 pounds
The Group upgrade set will cost 125 pounds.

Each AppleCentre will have to make a policy decision as to whether
to allow the software to be copied freely without the manuals.  They
seemed rather reluctant to be definite about this.

Oh well.  If anyone else in the UK has a more hopeful story to tell,
please post it!
