Thanks for all of the suggestions everybody.  Here's a summary:
  Votes  Recommendation
    6      TOS 1.4
    4      Warp 9
    2      More memory
    1      Anything and everything from Fair Dinkum Technologies (Hi John! :)
    1      8 or 9 other things that I don't remember off hand

Well, I'm more interested in TOS 2.06 so I'll just wait until I have more
money.  Warp 9 I might get though because I've seen TurboST on my machine
(yes it is gone now, thank you very much) and the speed increases were very
noticable.

However, I would definitely prefer more memory!  Anybody know what the best
route to upgrade is (e.g. SIMMs or more of the kind that came in my Mega)?
Cheapest?  Keep in mind that I will NOT be doing the upgrade myself.

                                                  adTHANKSvance,
                                                  Kenneth Love
