You bet it's worth it!  I've seen TOS 1.4 in action, and there are SO
many nice things in it, and SO many things fixed in it.  I can't see how
anybody would NOT want it!

For example:  Now you can rename folders, you have a MOVE command, disk
reads and writes are faster, windows open up in the RIGHT places, and
you have the keyboard controlled warm/cold resets.

These are just the things that are OBVIOUS!  The stuff you cannot see
that are fixed are NUMEROUS!  No more 40 file folder limit, or 16 meg
partitions, a rewritten GEMDOS, etc.

However, I think $100 is a bit too much.  If Atari wants to get 1.4 out
to people IN MASS, the price of upgrade should be lower.  Also, there
should be a special user-group deal, so a number of them can be
purchased at a reduced cost, with a "qualified" user group member
installing the ROMS.  Hey, the user groups are what have kept Atari
going in the past, so why not reward them with 1.4 at a low price?

Of course, I'm a member of a user's group.........   :^)
