Maybe we should be able to order from MacConnection, just like for every other
piece of Mac software.  :-)  I live in NYC, which means that I'm forced to 
deal with Computer Factory (the dealership from hell) whenever new system

to stick in the machine, let alone what the most current System/Finder is...

This way I can get Multifinder and Hypercard for $32 each... :-)
