Do you really think that everybody who rushed out and bought the first
macs didn't expect the system to grow and evolve?  Let's face it:
Apple screwed over the Lisa and early Mac owners.  They had the choice
of either letting their machines become orphans, or paying exhorbitant
fees to upgrade... some Lisa owners paid 2-3 times.  YOU might be able
to consider a $ 2000 payment amortized over 3 years, but that's a lot
more than I can afford to pay for microcomputer hardware, especially
when you don't get any tangible benefits, other than the ability to
run the software you were led to expect to get in the first place.
