Yes, exactly!  Apple makes a substantial profit on each 128k Mac they
sell.  They then start producing 512k Macs, and selling them to you for
$995 *plus* the trade-in on your old Mac.  So they've sold you two Macs
for a total of almost $3500, and still have your old (128k) Mac to sell
again!  They're in effect selling the same physical computer twice to
different people at $2500 a shot!

Pretty neat, from Apple's standpoint!
