Am I being naive or does this give me (a poor worker bee) the opportunity
to upgrade my Plus to an '030, run Connectix (therby loading up oodles of
SNDs, DAs, Fonts, etc.); clip (tape, solder, glue) a TPD interface to the
machine AND save gobs of $$$.  Or, like I asked, am I just being naive?

Of course, I will then be looking forward to being able to pop in Sys 7
and keep on Computing.
