I don't have an interest in Apple either but did want to say that
as a design engineer in a division which makes single board microprocessor
products, John Bass's numbers look reasonable to me. I know what we
pay for 256K rams and what our required markup to pay for overhead is
and actually, we'd charge a lot more than Apple is asking for the upgrade.

Does anyone remember the HP-35 and how it cost $395. HP dropped the
price on it and didn't offer discounted upgrades to anyone, I recall.
