It's what I need and what I want. The speed (or shall I say, LACK OF) is probably the biggest reason so many software companies have pulled. Even though new companies are being started, more are pulling out. How many GS specific (or //e) games have come out in the last year? How many for the Amiga? >I also would love to see a faster( not too fast) GS I don't think it's possible to have a computer 'too fast'. If Apple decided to make the GS 100Mhz, That'd definitely be better than 4Mhz (If price weren't an issue, of course). >Actually processing power increases faster than you state. That doesn't >mean that the market at which the GS is aimed at needs it. Take a look >at IBM's PS/1 which is doing quite well. It's hardly a technological >giant. Take a look at it's speed (what? 10Mhz?) and it's graphics-->VGA! I don't think anyone's asking for the GS to be a technological giant (but if they make it that, I won't gripe :), but at least equal to other computers in it's price range. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | | This is your brain... | BITNET-- mquinn@utcvm | | This is your brain on drugs... | pro-line: | | This is your brain on whole wheat.| mquinn@pro-gsplus.cts.com | |____________________________________|_______________________________|
