Bob,

I remember being tickled pink when I upgraded to 64k, found out I couldn't 
touch it, then magically one day I discovered the ALL-RAM code that would 
copy the ROMs into RAM and allow you to patch the system code.  Not only 
that, but you could optionally just store stuff in the extra 32k which 
stayed "hidden" by the overlaying ROMs, but was still there.  Those were 
the days.
