When Steve Jobs spoke at the University of Texas last Tuesday (Fat Mac's
birthday), he naturally made a few remarks about the 512K conversion. Some
of them augment Newton's Q/A report. The October 1 availabilty date for the
upgrades was described as conservative (Don't we wish all those other release
dates for Mac products had been conservative?). He said that 4-5000 upgrade
kits were being shipped on Sept. 12. He described the free MacDraw and
MacProject as a token of Apple's appreciation for the brave pioneers who
supported Apple's innovation. I guess that they feel that an investment of
$2495 is braver and more supportive than one of a mere $1000-1200. And they
have a point. The UT consortium prices were $1850 for the Mac 512K and $800
for the upgrade.
