protests, Apple eventually offered the System 7.1 upgrade kit to user-group and online service members for less than $ 30. But the writing was on the wall: Apple was jealous of
Microsoft, a system-software superstore to the world. Many wondered if the upgrade was even worth it. System 7.1 incorporated a huge number of changes, but the vast majority were deep-seated, core-level rewrites that added no usefulness to standard American Mac users.
