I am curious whether anyone knows if it will be possible for //e owners to
upgrade their machines (at least partially) to the //x.  Clearly a //e has a
permanently attached keyboard and nothing short of a buzzsaw will change
that.  But perhaps the chips can be dropped in place like so many pieces in
a jigsaw puzzle, giving the //e the speed and graphics of the //x.  Maybe
even the sound potential can be upgraded somehow...?  It seems pointless to
talk of selling a //e and then buying a //x, since once the //x is here, the
price of a new //e will be so low that I will have to pay someone to take my
used one away.
