Whoa!  I can see you're in for a big surprise.  I booted up the System Disk
1.1 the other day just for laughs and I couldn't believe how awful it was.
How did you manage to miss all the upgrades?  I can see you never subscribed
to *any* Apple II publications...

I would suggest that you invest in a subscription to A2.Central (with Disk).
This publication puts out a disk every month, and in the past had the System
Disks on them when they were released.  By the way; we are all anticipating a
new System Disk sometime soon that will make System 5.0 obsolete.  So if you
subscribe to A2-Central, you should be getting that one as soon as it becomes
available.

                A2-Central
                P.O. Box 11250
                Overland Park, KS  66207

The disk and newsletter cost $84 for one year.  For people in the Boondocks...
I consider it invaluable.
