Well, I'm not positive about this, but I believe that there is no upgrade path
(and there will be none) from the plus to the '030 line (ie SEx), short of
selling your machine and buying the new one.  There is a board/chassis swap
available to go from SE to SEx, and since Apple seems to be moving in that
direction within 2 yrs (ie high performance CPU w/MMU) that could be a factor.
