Well, yes and no.  I might keep it on the coffee table, but I'm more likely to
keep it in my workspace.  I forgot to mention the other curiosity about
Prodos-16 and my system:  I'm still _running_ Prodos-16.  I upgraded my OS
software once since I bought my [Woz] IIgs, but I never got the extra money to
expand the memory for my system.

My question was mostly curiosity.  Now I finally know what people are talking
about when they're talking about GS/OS. ;-)
