Well, since I forgot to reply to this part previously, I'll do it here.

Yeah I did, but I did come to the conclusion that I thought the IIgs was
worth it.  However, I don't even hesitate when I think about purchasing
my next computer.  I am NOT going to be getting another Apple II or
"graduating/upgrading/whatever" to a Mac.  Not unless Apple does
something REAL about the current state of Apple II affairs and delivers
a machine that can compare to other PC's.
