Three quick questions: 1.  I have read both that a) it is *recommended* that
a 128k ram mac be memory-upgraded before the 800k disk drive and 128k
rom are installed, or b) a 128k ram mac simply will not work with HFS
and the new 800k drive and 128 rom's. (for instance, Bobker's article
p. 118 MacUser May 1986).  What permanent damage results from this?  I
am currently writing this on a thin Mac with hfs etc.  Everything's
working for me so far ...
                     2.  Has kermit after 0.8(33) shown up yet?  (I
remember reading on the net that its appearance was imminent but I may
have missed the posting.  0.8(33) does not seem to want to receive
onto 800k floppies although it does communicate ok under hfs.
                     3.  My friendly neighborhood store is still
distributing the "old" system and finder (ie System 3.0 and Finder
5.1, the deadly duo).  How did so many on the net get their new
S&F files, and does Apple now allow them to be posted? (I remember
chuq had an article on this ...)
