Sorry about that, but since all the furor that went on when apple
released the ROM 3 without an upgrade, I was thinking about that. I
I forgot that on occasion Apple DOES help out the customers. BTW, is that
offer still valid? A friend of mine tried to upgrade a ROM 0 to a ROM 1
last year (around June), and the dealer said that it was no longer
available... (What's this? I'm trusting dealers?)

      Maybe things should be changed at Apple so that DTS IS in charge...
