- If you have system 7, you order the version you want; it can't get any
- easier than that. The only difficulty will be for those people who have
- 800K-drive machines and who do not have system 7 already--and there aren't
- that many of them who will be upgrading to 7.1. They will have to buy 7.1
- on 1440K disks, then phone an 800 number to order the 800K disks (lucky
- that the disks aren't 900K <g>), and wait a few more days. A small
- inconvenience for a small number of people. Actually, they would be better
- off buying or downloading the 7.0 upgrade, installing it immediately, and
- then ordering the 800K 7.1 upgrade at no cost (if they buy 7.0) or for
- $34.95 (if they download 7.0) (or get it from a user group instead of
- downloading it).
