That's right, you can "upgrade" and keep you //e motherboard no problem !
Just go to your dealer with $1800, leave your //e at home, and buy the
//gs !  (Then I can set it beside my ][ and //e, and have compatability
with everything written since 1976 guaranteed !)

After all, a glut of //e's on the market will hurt the clone market pretty
bad...

Frustrated (sigh, so when's the //x coming out, anyway ?) !
