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.
