Third party software developers can get the specs needed to access the graphics -- its an 800 page book. The unit does have some *expandability* -- you will be able to replace its 16 64k Ram chips with 16 256k chips taking the unit to a half meg. At least two third party outfits will be offering hard disks for the mac. All in all the mac's future doesn't look that bad -- remember what the IBM PC was like when it came out. Steve Crandall
