I have a friend who is an elementary school teacher and owns a IIgs.  She
is interested in upgrading the memory and/or adding a hard disk.  So please
excuse a Mac user for intruding on your territory to ask a couple of stupid
questions on my friend's behalf:

1)  what options are available to increase the memory on a IIgs?  Can
standard SIMMs be used?  
2)  how 'bout hard disks?   Can the IIgs support SCSI drives?  
3)  if one had to choose between more memory and a hard disk, which
would be increase productivity more?
4) while I'm here, are there any good archive sites out there that
have software that might be useful to an elementary school (2nd grade)
teacher?

Please include pricing information and vendor recommendations if possible
for questions 1 and 2.  E-mail responses are preferred since I do not
normally read this group.  Thanks!
