Does this suggest that Lisa owners can keep their Profiles if they trade
in the Lisa?  I haven't been able to find this out from any Apple dealers.
All I do know is that the trade-in plan runs from April 15 through August
31, and costs $1498.  (I have heard that developers may be able to trade their
machines in earlier - end of February?).  If Apple doesn't want Profiles
back, then I supect that I can sell mine to an Apple // or /// user
(anybody wanna buy a 3-month old 10 meg. Profile?) to help defray the cost
of the "upgrade."
