It isn't just that. The fact is that since the IIgs was introduced (let's
see, how long ago was that.. 4-5 years now?? AW2.0 came out to support the
IIGS in 1984 or so), it hasn't been seriously improved.

I know, you'll probably jump up and down telling me about the new GS. Well,
I've been using the "new" IIGS for quite some time. Fact is, when you look
at the "new" IIGS and compare it to the "old" IIGS and then consider that
it took 4-5 years to put that together, it should make you sick... because
in the meantime, Apple has been cranking out new Macintosh machines left
and right..
