To say nothing of //c owners when there WAS an upgrade from the //e to the IIgs but *ZILCH* for closed system owners (kinda like owning a Mac 512 or a Mac+ looking at the upgrade option for the SE to SE-30). Win some, lose some. If there's a moral it's open architecture is better than closed architecture (the ][+ exception not withstanding) -- there's even a board which "upgrades" an Apple /// to a //e with a RAM disk.
