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.
