I remember a while back an Apple employee compared our wanting future upgrade paths on CPUs to Covette owners (he owned one) asking GM for an upgrade path. I'd like to know what his reaction would be if GM told him his corvette had an 8 cylinder engine, but it only had a 6. Then they offered him an upgrade to the newer vette for only half the price of the original, but he had to keep all the old parts, just the motor is swapped. This is NOT an upgrade path for user's wanting clean ROMs that they were promised. This is an upgrade path for users who need more speed/newer CPUs/FDHD disks etc. I only want the clean ROMs and the ability to use larger amounts of memory. I have no current need for a IIci (I own a cx). I want to know what Apple will do for me. Earlier someone mentioned a class action suit, is there one in progress now? Any lawyers want to make yourselves noticed real quick? I can't see how you could lose this one?
