	Hello to who ever reads this.  I hve some basic questions about the
posibility of turning my mac+ into a computer of the 90's.  While the machine
is still a superstar as far as I am concerned, and it has served me faithfully
for 4 yrs now, it is time to upgrade to a faster CPU.  I have some general 
questions though.  O.K. here we go.....

1=> Should I buy an daughter board or a new product from apple??
	While i have always been a strong suporter of apple, lately I have had
	may doubts about the company.  There newer cpus are expensive. I can
	get an excellent daughter board that will outperform the newer macs!!!
	I am quite upset that apple has decided not to support the plus anymore
	but I guess they know what is best!!!

2=> Are ther any products that will allow the mac+ to use a color monitor, and
    are ther any products that will add new bus slots to a mac+??
	As I see it these are the only reasons to buy a new apple product.  If
	some third party developers have put something together then I will have
	to seriously consider just upgrading my plus.

   I will be going to the mac world expo in boston next week. so if any one has any suggestions, I would be more then happy to hear them.  I have given this a lot of thought lately, and I am well aware of the accelerators availabe out there
but the color and newbus search drew a big blank.

thanks in advance
