Webb ihnp4!houxm!hropus!jrw CAREFULL!!! If you upgrade, be aware that some of the older Apple software may no longer work!!!! Currently, only Supercalc 3A requires the upgrade. There is no good reason to upgrade--at least not yet. If you want to experiment, hand the $70 over to your dealer & talk them into giving you the upgrade kit (which includes instructions) instead of letting them do it. Most/Many dealers will be happy to do it since the $70 includes the labor. Your benefit: you get to keep your 6502 and the old ROM. This way, if your favorite program(s) stop working you have a fallback. If the dealer does it, they are specifically instructed not to give back the replaced parts! -- -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Paul Blumstein "I deny this reality!"
