Although you may feel that the pricing of the II to IIx upgrade is
outrageously expensive, let me point out two things to you:
	1)  You can get virtually all of the components of the IIx
	    upgrade from Apple for reasonable prices (FDHD and PMMU
	    primarily).
	2)  You CAN GET an upgrade from a II to a IIx.  Note that no
	    matter how I try, I cannot get the manufacturer of my
	    car to upgrade it to the latest model.... nor can I get
	    IBM to upgrade this ugly XT to an AT.
