They did -- I remember the upgrade kits. Dad nearly bought one but instead
fried our 386SX with a Cyrix co-processor which shorted out the board. Well,
it could have been Dad, and not the chip ;-) but we seemed to upgrade only
when Dad destroyed the computer. The 386 went up in smoke, so Dad got a
486DX/40, and then that literally burned down (the board one day just started
to warp and black wisps came out the cooling vents), so we got the P75. ;-)
The K2-450 they have now was because of Y2K fears, which turned out to be
unfounded, so my little sister has the P75. When she gets sick of it, I'll
use it to play old DOS games that Virtual PC doesn't like.
