And which one is more likely to be upgraded?

First adopters were fairly wealthy enthusiasts; perhaps they were more willing upgraders? It is twenty years since I last used a Mac with 128KB RAM. All of the original Macs and Mac 128Ks that I ever used were later upgraded in some way (third party accelerator or Plus upgrade).

Or on reflection, perhaps early adopters became frustrated by continuous floppy disk swapping and just parked the Mac in the loft? At least Mac 128K owners could see the Mac 512K and conclude that "Macintosh" really could work.

Who knows? Has anyone considered creating a M0001 register so that we can get a count? (Don't rush to deliver it. There are lots of privacy issues to consider.)
