>There are so many simple things that can be done on the GS to really make it

Exactly the point that I've been trying to make for a long time!! The old Apple
// spirit is gone, (at least from s/w manufacturers). Instead of using newer
technology to make better products, they use advanced technology so that they
can write their s/w in a high-level language, and rely on the machine to make
up for their laziness. This just can not be done on the GS. There are just so
many neat little things it can do that are simply overlooked by manufacturers.
For instance: Fill-mode anumation; at the penalty of one color per line, we
could have simply dazzling animation, yet I've only seen one peice of software
that used it (tunnels of armageddon). Multiple pallettes; nobody really touches
these either.. rather just port over the 16/64 color graphics from EGA.. what a
waste!. And all the little points that I forgot to mention. Just neglected. We
are neglected not only by Apple, but also by our s/w companies. It really is a
shame.
