I played a bit with the Beta version of MS-Basic 2.0.  It was
almost half as fast as 1.1, and about as good at memory utilization.
It was enough to make me decide not to buy the upgrade until
I saw it run with my very own eyes (and stopwatch).

MacBasic looks like a better way to spend one's money.
