According to a Letter to computer currents from an irate Apple II+ owner
the cost of the GS upgrade does not include some mandatory items,
specifically the cost is broken dow into :
GS Motherboard $499
Dealer Installation $40
New Disk Drive (3.5") $500
RGB Monitor $499
New cables (modem,prt) $50
Cooling Fan $40
-------
Cost To Upgrade $1,628
So why upgrade? You can get an Amiga or Atari instead. This was what the
reader claimed he would do.
