Just when you may have thought it was safe to purchase a
512k Mac and not have to worry about future upgrades comes
this disturbing aside in the October Dtack Newsletter:
"... the genuine Fat Mack, which was (and still is?)
scheduled for production early in 1985 was to have had
a logic board redesign to quadruple the data rate of
its serial port, for instance. Introduction of the
'Plump Mack' this early reeks of a desparation move to
placate frustrated software designers.
Incidentally, going from 128k to 512k is a 384k upgrade
regardless of what prevaricators may say."

Canada (U.S. funds), or $25 for 10 issues elsewhere.
