Or will it continue to make its customers pay for its disastrous business judgment [see Wall Street Journal, 1/30/89, "Apple Slips as Result of Hoarding Chips: Costly Purchases May Cut Quarter's Profit by 43%." The article noted that "Apple is still saddled with nearly $80 million worth of memory chips."]. At a time when the anticipation of System 7.0 will likely encourage many people to upgrade their memory (I got my 5 megs before the prices went up), it would be nice if Apple made it cheaper to do so.
