Well, I certainly agree that HyperCard 2.0 is worth it, but...

in the 11/06/90 MacWeek (4, 38), they recommend (page 8) 6.0.4 for SE's
and II's (and only 6.0.3 for SE/30's), as well as the Plus, and IIcx.
Well, I have a II at home, it's just fine for me, and an SE at work
(yes, it's too small and wimpy, but they won't give me anything more).
So now I'm confused.  I don't know why they don't recommend 6.0.5 for
II's and SE's, but I don't like to make my life more difficult by using
risky OS's when I really can't afford the possible mistakes.  Can I
safely upgrade to 6.0.5 to run HyperCard 2.0 on my II at home?  How do I
get it?  Here, we have either 6.0.4 or 6.0.7, the former of which won't
support 2.0 and the latter of which is NOT recommended for SE's or
II's.  As you can see, I really could use some guidance.  Any takers?
