	I just talked to a friend of mine who works at an Apple
Dealership, and he says that Sys.7 will be coming out May 13, it will
be free if you bring in x-number of disks, or $99, which includes
disks, manuals, and I believe 90 days of support.
	He also suggests that you at least try to place orders at
local dealerships (if they'll let you), because he thinks there won't
be very many in stock after the first few hours on May 13.  (As you
can imagine.)
