Yeah, that's what I'd like to know.  Why isn't Brian Greenstone working for
some hot game software company, instead of having to grovel trying to publish
his wonderful stuff and getting nowhere?

Well, the answer seems to be that no software company is that interesting in
publishing (or writing, for that matter) games for the Apple IIGS right now.

The fact that someone as good a Brian isn't working somewhere writing
incredible things for our machine goes to show you what a sorry state things
are in the Apple II world.  It doesn't fare too much better for other talented
65816 programmers either.  Most of the jobs that are out there are for working
on Nintendo games, not Apple II stuff.  Dispicable, if you ask me....

As I recall, Brian actually interviewed at Origin and they told him he'd have
to program on another machine (or was it Nintendo, I can't remember).  Now
Nintendo; there's a *real* challenge.  [sarcasm here]
