Apple deserves to get bashed for the 32-bit clean ROM issue, but I must agree
with you on System 7 upgrades. I've owned 4 Macs over the last few years, and
I've never been forced to _pay_ for the many system software upgrades I've
had.

Maybe if we cut the volume of stupid complaints we stand a better chance
of being heard on the issues that matter.

I've been using System 7 all day, and no matter whether you pick it up free
from a friend or pay for the manuals and *12* disks (how much is your time
worth to copy that many yourself anyway?), it's a great deal.
