The most frequent about  the GS seems to be the boot time for the system.
Several of the PC clones have places to plug in chips containing programs.
An eprom version of the system would solve a lot of problems. If it was placed
in the correct memory location with a softswitch, like basic, there would be
no bootup time. Upgrades would simply be a matter of swapping out chips
(something which GS users should be used to :-) ) and Apple could recycle the
old ones for the next upgrade. I'm sure that this would necessitate a nominal
charge for upgrades but it should be worth it. Is this feasible, or am I
missing something?

P.S. I'm extremely upset. Mazda came out with a new model with front wheel
drive and a much nicer interior but they want $8000 for the upgrade!
