Now that TOS 1.4 (aka Rainbow TOS) is available, does this mean that the disk
based beta version supplied to registered developers is "up for grabs"?  I
would like to see how the new version affects my environment before committing
myself to the new ROM set.  I know the question "Is it worth it?" has been
asked and answered but I would feel much better justifying the $100.00 upgrade
cost to my wife if I can SHOW her what it will fix/affect on our machine.

People are also complaining that they can't get the ROMs from their dealers
for a number of reasons.  Wouldn't it be a good idea to release a disk based
version here on USENET and/or one of the pay services for those that are
sceptical (like me) or those that can't get the ROMs from the dealers?

Just a thought.  I've been reading this newsgroup for years and I finally had
something to say.
