The appalling thing is that Apple told users to go out and buy an 80
megabyte disk so they could run A/UX.  Now Apple turns around, says
"throw away your disk, purchase OUR disk instead".  I'm suprised their
is no outcry at this bait & switch tactic.

It reminds me of the ticket scalper that charges $16.50 for the NFL
tickets, and $100 for the envelope.  You don't buy the envelope, you
don't get the tickets......
