Yeah, do so. Almost everything I wrote nowadays requires Sys 6, and
a lot of neato stuff (that is, not from me, can you tell? :) does too,
so go for it.

Dunno. Ppl w/o a harddrive or w/o memory. But then, memory cards are
dirt cheap, and hard drives dropped by a _large_ amount during the last
2 or 3 months (at least, the bare mechanisms, but that's what counts),
so I see no reason not to buy one.
