Unless I miss my guess, Apple is taking a LOSS selling those boards at that price. Is there something I am missing? Normally, hardware products cost at least 5 times their parts cost at the retail level. Even if Apple is paying only $20 per chip they are in bad shape. They have to replace the complete board, as I heard. Now if you want a real gouge, take the original Mac. That costs less than $200 in parts, and they sell it for $2500 in the USA. I guess they sold it for this high price to help pay for the cost of the upgrade. In other words, get the upgrade, you've already paid for it! -- Brad Templeton, Looking Glass Software Ltd. - Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473
