     I want to upgrade to a ROM 3 gs for the same reason everyone wants
to upgrade to Sys 5.0.  There are improvements, but the functionality is
close to the same.  Almost everyone could LIVE without Sys 5.0, sticking
with Sys 4.0.  I want the ROM 3 machine because using tools will be much
more convenient in ROM than from Sys 5.0, the DOC chip is apparently 
shielded much better, and some other improvements that are just 'spiffy.'
     I plan on programming on the GS when I can afford compilers, etc.,
and I would like to use the ROM routines, not to mention the latest
version of the machine.  If programmers can't get the 'nicer' machine
without paying a more-than-minor upgrade cost, what then?
     Or it could be that I'm picky...{=
