Well, there is this awesome new demo to be on the look out for.  It
is titled Nucleus GS and is over 250 blocks long under SHK format.
It unpacks to take over a 3.5" disk.  It has its own dos which is
mostly incompatible with ProDOS - if you catalog the volume, it appears
empty.  When it boots, a screen referencing SpeedyLoad FTA appears for
a few (??) moments and then the fun begins.
.
What you first see is a title screen, indicating that the Free Tools 
Association is responsible for this demo.  There is some names there,
which I didnt write down :-( .  In the black background are speeding
points of lights (stars).  On your internal speaker is playing this
rock tune - with human vocals which SOUND human.  This is the FIRST 
voices (other than the few seconds on the original GS dealer demo)
which I felt SOUNDED fully human.  The closest before this was Talking
Reader Rabbit - and it is muffled.  There is no muffle, or no tinniness,
in this sound.
.
Next you hit a key (only space?  I dont know) and the main screen comes 
up.  Here you have the option of increasing the number of stars on the 
screen, starting a series of molecules (??) floating in space, changing 
between THREE rock sound tracks (which use the MDIdeas stereo card
that I have in my GS), have a 3d looking rotating Logo in the corner of
the screen, options to rotate the central graphic in 3 dimentions in
2 different directions in real time, zoom in, automatic demoing, etc.
I would go on, but my fingers are tired.
