Yes.  Especially since there were major improvements in the functionality,
speed, and reliability between the old ROM's and new ROM's for that $300,
and the only functionality changes that won't be RAM patched back onto the
128K Rom's will be things that only make sense on the SE.  the 512ke and
Mac+ aren't by any means obsolete, unlike the old ROM machines.

Of course, we can also point out that there is a lot of functionality that
is missing from the SE Rom when compared to the mac II Rom, so I wouldn't go
crowing. Compared to that Rom, your machine is a week old and already
obsolete....

Isn't this all kind of catty and useless?
