This is all very well, but the SE/30 is still being sold. While the software
fix which Connectix is advertizing may fix the problem (I await reviews with
interest), the absence of any official statement from Apple is not acceptable.
If they announced that they would encourage everyone to buy the Connectix
solution because this would be cheaper than a ROM upgrade, this would make
everyone at least partially happy. But what are they going to tell SE/30 buyers
after they start bundling System 7 with new machines?
