All right, let's end this once and for all.

Knowing the interest on the net regarding this very question, I stood up
in front of a packed auditorium at the Macworld Expo and asked Kin Seto,
Apple evangelist.

Q1: Do the majority of machines have the new ROM?
A1: It depends on the market:
	Business: yes, they have the Plus
	Universities: no, many 512
	Home:	mix, including many 128's with 3rd-party 512 upgrades
    As he points out, most products have two targets:
	"Minimum"--512, external drive, ImageWriter
	"Satisfactory"--Plus, hard disk, LaserWriter

Q2: When can we assume the new ROM on product shipped?  (A fellow panelist
    asked for shipping all distributions on 800kb floppies)
A2: "late 1987"
