- Yes, this is a large problem for some people, and in about 2 months
- it is going to become even more of a problem, becuase there will be no
- macs available for purchace that can run System 6 when the new machines
- replace the older IIsi and IIci on October 19th. Hopefully developers of
- software and hardware that isn't System 7 comaptible will start feeling
- the pressure and upgrade their products to work with the latest system
- and hence the new machines.
