GRRRR.  Lots of uninformed people keep yakking about 'will is cost?' 'how much?'

It has been stated, more than once by APPLE EMPLOYEES, that SYSTEM 7.0  WILL
BE FREE.  FREE. FREE. FREE. FREE.  ie: no money need exchange hands.  In other
words, they will give it to you.  What i'm saying is that its won't cost you
anything.  Or, to sum up, its FREE.


Tip:  ignore bookstore employees.  they dont work for apple.

caveat:  AS ALWAYS, THE DOCS WILL COST $, but the software is FREE.
