If, in fact, they actually stuck you with 6.0, it's definitely worth your
while to upgrade to 6.0.2.  You shouldn't have to spend any money for the
upgrade.  You should be able to take your system floppies (and maybe 1 or 2
extra, I don't remember) to your dealer and have them copy the new system
onto them.  The fee is only if you want doccumentation, which you really
don't need, since it really didn't change much.  6.0.2 was a bug fix.  6.0
had a number of bugs, some of which were apparently unfriendly.  You don't
need 6.0.3, since it is exclusively for the 68030-based machines.  (or is it
just SE/30?-- anyway, not the plus).  If they won't copy the new system for
you, yell a lot, and if that doesn't work, check with a user-group or just
find a friend who has 6.0.2 and copy his disks.  You're entitled to the soft-
ware free -- Apple said so.
