From Robert X. Cringely's "Notes from the Field" column in InfoWorld:


NO MORE ROM-MATES.  Not to be outdone by IBM, Apple Computer first bought
Outbound's laptop technology and licensed it back to the Colorado
lap-Mac maker, and now they've deliberately shut down the legal suppy
of Mac ROMs for these and other machines.
  As of September 15, Apple stopped selling Mac ROMs to anyone, unless they
are in exchange for a "broken" set.  Previously, Apple dealers and service
centers could buy as many ROMs as they liked at $120 per set, but too many
were ending up in Outbounds and in Mac emulators for other computers."

Buy 'em now, buckos.
