I sympathize with those wanting 32-bit clean ROM upgrades but I wonder
about this "Apple promised us" stuff. Does it say anywhere in the documentation
that Apple *will* provide a ROM upgrade path ? Or does it simply say that
there is a *possibility* of an upgrade. Makes a big difference as to Apple's
legal obligations. I don't have a Mac with a ROM slot, so I don't know
what those manuals say but I don't think I've seen in any review or ad that
Apple guarantees replacement of the current ROMs with the latest
 and greatest chipset. And before you flame me for picking nits, I would really
like to know if such a guarantee exists.
