My point that, if I'm not mistaken, it is possible to upgrade Turbo color and mono machines to the ADB stuff. And the main point was, is there a way to get Next to change its policy? Why can't we pay to upgrade upgradable machines? I can understand the dropping of the optical disk (though deplore it) since as far as I can tell, it was neither a good distribution method, nor a good way to have main storage. The ADB keyboard instead being a chained thing like SCSI opens up possibilities that 19/20 Next users are now locked out of. The keyboard does stink. The mouse is rotten. Why does Next make it so difficult to use ANY third party hw? Why? And Even the Mac Plus, which of course doesn't support ADB, eventually had third party keyboards designed for it, though this seems very unlikely for the Next. WHAT can we do?
