Has anyone heard about how much it'll be to upgrade an SE to an SE/30?  I 
don't need the HD option, just the CPU changed.  I heard a wild rumor that
it'll follow Apple's usual trend of making the upgrade as expensive as buying
a new machine, so it was set at about $2000.  But then, this is just a rumor.

Also, since Apple is trying to get '030s out before NeXT takes a big hold, why
aren't they letting the /30 and the IIcx go crazy at 25MHz?  Is there something
about the system or applications that prevent it from going at 25?  It seems
a shame to spend all that time designing an '030 machine then have it crawl at
'020 rates.

Have a nice day.
