This deal does indeed incluide the IIgs.  A friend of mine went and picked one
up on Friday.  He loves it.  I havn't played with it much (I've been working
all weekend), but he claims nearly all my games DON'T work on his Rom 3 GS.
Is it that incompatible?  He's an avid IIe user, and perhaps he was doing
something wrong..what, I couldn't tell ya.  I'll check it out in the future.

BTW-He also picked up a Mac SE keyboard.  I can't exactly put my finger on it
(hey, is that a pun?), but it just feels more "professional" than a normal
IIgs keybard.  Anyone know why this might be?  Also, why does Apple bother to
produce to seperate keyboards?  Seems like it would be more cost-effective to
just produce the Mac one ('cause I think I like it better...although I cleaned
mine today, and it improved immesurably)

Oh, and another thing.  When I took apart my keyboard to clean it, I took EVERY
THING I could off (not just keycaps), and noticed that internally, those
ADB connectors are pretty flimsy.  It seems, though, that it would be VERY
easy to fix any problems that develop in the plug.  It all looked very basic
and straight-forward.

Sorry, but as I'm thinking of it (it's a quarter to 6:00am) is the Mac
keyboard cable thicker?  Or are all ADB cables thicker than they were?  I have
a Woz GS, and it sure seems to me that this keyboard cable looks thinner...
(this is totally irrelevant...I was just curious)
