			==Can/should I upgrade my ST?==

			The answer depends on the type of ST you currently have, and what you want to
			do in the future. Be aware that there are a large number of modifications one
			can perform on the venerable 1040ST, and that newer machines are coming down
			incost so much that to obtain a certain feature it may be cheaper to purchase
			new than to upgrade.

			#Memory - most ST machines may be upgraded to 4 megabytes. The newer STe machines use either SIP or SIMM

			#TOS - for those still running TOS 1.0, now is the time to consider an upgrade. TOS 1.4 has been around for at least 2 years now, and is -much- faster (and safer) for those using hard drives. TOS 2.06 is available as a hardware upgrade to ST and MegaST machines for about $150 from CodeHead
