I also have a Woz Limited Edition Apple IIgs.  Big deal.
    
If you swap out the motherboard, you get to keep the case.  No one will ever
know...  :-)

I think what most of us are saying here is that Apple came out with a new
motherboard, with some interesting improvements.  Most of the current GS users
are made up of old Apple II supporters (you know, that fantatically dedicated
group of people that "made" Apple Computer what it is today).  No matter what
improvements have been made, nor how significant, these hardcore Apple users
don't like being told that they can't have a motherboard swap.  Believe it or
not, there are a few of us who would be willing to shell out the $399 (or
whatever) to swap out the board for the extra RAM and built-in ROM.  It's just
that we don't like being told we have no choice.

So new Apple GS users get the new technology; us old guys get stuck. 

>From rumors I've heard there is NO GS+...  at least for another year...
