Note that the GS was running //e software. (I think it was because of the quality
of the graphics.)  I think that means something . . .
Sorta like at my jr. high school a few years back.  The kids liked to use the
GS cause the //e's did not have color monitors and the teacher said. . ."Are
you going to use the color computer" (When referring to the GS)_ he had about 2-3
GS softwares, all else was COPYPROTECTED //e software. (I say copy-protected to show
that how ancient it was)

He didn't teach the GS softwares in the classes.  And he got super serial cards
so he could have the type of printer cables used on the //e. is it RS232?
