I can't agree more.  I try to figure out if games or programs are
designed for the //e or the IIgs, and I'm usually right, but I'm not as
good as I'd like to be.  It can be especially infuriating to spend a
large amount of time downloading a file (some of us are still at 1200)
only to find that there's no way, other than buying another computer, to
use it.

C'mon, people, let's identify our software with the machines they can be
used on.  Please?
