To add some facts for those using computer centers:
(1) we got official 7.0 at 9 AM Wednesday
(2) by pushing our duping person we expect to have it
ready by noon tomorrow (Thursday)

You're free to copy system 7;  we're just not making our
systems available to do this.  We distribute software (Claris 
upgrades, Word Perfect upgrades, Mac System 6.0.x upgrades) every 
day, and system 7 is just too large.  We'd like our machines
free for other purposes, too.  

We won't be selling the 3 manual set of docs separately for a 
while;  Apple hasn't delivered any to us as of yet.  (For those
who buy this:  the 3-manual set omits a short brochure on
"How to install System 7" which is good advice, but not terribly
necessary for those who've muddled through previous upgrades;  and
it omits the "Hypercard Basics" manual, an extremely stripped 
down Hypercard tutorial.  This is the set Apple packages in 
5-packs (5 sets of 3 books each) for lab/group upgrades.)
