What do you mean?  I have all the Apple IIgs technical manuals, but recent
discussion holds that many people don't know a lot about the IIgs, and
make automatic presumptions that if it is an Apple II, it is bad, and Macs
and IBMs rule.  Since that is not the case, I wanted to state the facts,
and show another point of view, that IS based on facts.

I don't see why some people are getting so hyped up about this..  but if
we don't stand up for the IIgs.. who will?  President Bush?

Obviously, not everyone does..  if you do.. it doesn't justify a stereotypical
remark that "everyone" does.... it's clear that MAC users don't.  And if
everyone DID, why then, did you restate it?

I was not trying to state NEW facts.. just THE facts.  If you have a problem
with someone trying to stick up for their Apple II, then.. stay off this
newsgroup.
