Summary: Any advice on upgrades appreciated


   We have an unenhanced //e with a 512k Ramworks II, and want to
move up to a GS. My wife depends on Appleworks (1.3) a lot for mailing
lists and school newsletters. Our 4 year old son and 2 year old daughter
love to sit in front of our apple and play games (with a monochrome 
monitor, even). And I even get to play on it sometimes :-). 

   The question is, what to buy? Apples IIe upgrade package doesn't 
sound like such a good deal, so I would like to sell ours and just 
buy a new GS.

   Does anyone have any advice on memory cards (and how much extra memory)
to buy? How about nice software (especially games for the kids - I am 
tired of looking at the old ones.) Any other advice would help (like
cost-justifying a MAC II that runs Appleworks :-)).

   Thanks in advance.
