First, for those of you with 128K machines wishing to get the new ROMs and
disk ... forget it! A friend locally tried the new upgrade and it wouldn't
work.

My friend took his machine back and had the upgrade reversed and his money
refunded. He then asked what it would cost to get the 512k upgrade so he could
use the ROM/Disk upgrade ... Answer $450! My friend decides that that is too 
much and asks if they will upgrade his machine after he gets a 3rd party
512k upgrade. The store answers No!

I seem to recall Apple stating clearly that the ROM/disk upgrade would be 
available to *all*, regardless of any 3rd party upgrades. This is an 
important question to me, as I have a 2 meg Levco upgraded Mac. There
is a large potential for dealers to jerk us 3rd party people around on
this question. Does Apple have a number to call to complain about one
of their dealer's shafting a customer?

PS. The dealer was MicroCenter in Columbus, Ohio. Has anyone else had problems?
