Ah... but there IS a reason.  I tried yesterday to install 7.0b6 onto
A-Max.  Get this: The installation disks would not even boot!  I find
this MORE than disturbing.  And I'm not talking about 23rd-hand black
market copies either.  I work for a company that is a registered Apple
developer, so I've got access to the real McCoy.  Something strange
is afoot here.  I'm going to pull the stops and find out if 7.0 will
run on A-Max tomorrow; I'm taking my Ami to work and connecting it
to an HD that has 7.0 installed so we can sidestep the installation
procedure.  A detailed report will follow, so keep it tuned here.
Same bat time, same bat channel.  ;-)
