 I have to disagree.  You knew what you were getting into when you bought 
your Macintosh.  No one twisted your arm.  And if you calm down for a minute
and look at the market price of chips (256K Drams), Labour, and of course the
money apple is losing in all those mother boards it has to rebuild, you are
getting a good deal for your $995.  As I recall the upgrade was rumoured 
to cost $1500 -> $1800 range.  So count your blessings.  I too have to fork
out the $995  to upgrade MY Macintosh, but for the added memopry, speed and
performance its worth it.  If you wanted  "perfection" you should have bought
an IBM-PC.  

Oh, yeah, if you paid the regular price ($2495...) for your Mac, you also 
get $250 worth of FREE software; MacProject and MacDraw as I understand.

fun with his Macintosh!
