Why is Apple charging the $50 in the first place? I can't imagine they
are going to make lots of money from it. It's far more than distribution
cost. Is it to give dealerships a profit on the thing? Or is it to give
an incentive to people to buy macs (they're getting something for free)?
It sure isn't good PR--rightly or wrongly, most of us have come to expect
to get operating system upgrades from Apple for free, and having to pay
for this one hurts a little.
And will these things be posted on the BBS? If not, what happens when
Multifinder 1.1 comes out? Another $50?
