YOu were mentioning your problems with 3 motherboards an RGB power supply and
various other things.  Well, I have had little to no problems with mine.  I
blew up one motherboard (lava lamp exploaded on it!) Had some problems with my
3.5 ejecting disks and the number 9 key on the GS keyboard is broken.  Now
comparing my machine to a friends Clone I am having no problems.  He's had 2
HD's crash.  Many problems with disk drives and one motherboard burn up!!!
He's also had to replace the entire keyboard once! Nasty!!!!

I think the new GS is a great idea.  It is still basically the same machine
and has a few more additions that were desperately needed like more memory. 
Since my Woz edition has a memory expansion board and is just about as fast as
the new one, I have no need for the new one, except the possibility of having
another GS that will only be upgradeable if you have the new motherboard? :)
