Like a year ago our school got a price list from apple with upgrades and to upgrade the IMac 233mhz to 350mhz was fricking $300??!?!?
Well, it really seems they haven't learnt their lesson, have they? They have made the same mistake they did years ago by closing off most 3rd party support.

August 18th, 2284 - Just when we thought it was over, the notorius GatorX has striked again. The FBII (Federal Bureau of Internet Information) has received top secret info on the next GatorX version, 328.38 which will supposibly tap into your brain and read you mind to see what products you want. GatorX will follow you around in your brain, and secretly transmit the data telepathically to their headquarters. With Microsoft-Alpha teamed up with Gator on their new version, Windows Omega-Inferno X372 for the Nanocomputer, which will be forced on every computer system by 2285, this is very heartbreaking.
"We are brainstorming ways to defeat GatorX 328.38, but everytime I think about, an image of that new Ford-AOL Corvette flashes in my mind, I wonder why? I think I'll stop by a dealership after work." said Peter Norton the 78th, president of Nortan-Pulsar Anitvirus.
When we contacted Microsoft-Alpha and GatorX they just told us this: "ALL YOUR BRAIN ARE BELONG TO US" reserchers are currently trying to comprehend what the *&#% this means, stay tuned into CNN-Nebula for upcoming news breaks!
