I saw something to this effect in a MacWeek a few weeks ago.  I, too, don't
know who said it.  But it said that they were thinking about providing an
upgrade path for Mac Plusses because there are tons of them in the business
world and these businesses want to be able to upgrade them.  Apple, I suppose,
is afraid that these customers might not decide to buy new 68030 based machines
and go to IBM instead.  It seems that Apple still has an inferiority complex.
Although, if it gets the job done...

These are only my opinions.
