Kinda like your posting... :-)

Tell that to Apple.

Exactly.  The //gs is perfect for that.  Tell it to Apple.  Tell them that a
machine created after their beloved Macintosh is still useful.

Read the article you are following up to.  My point isn't that the //gs is
underpowered, it's that the //gs is no longer marketed, and won't be supported
for much longer.  3rd party support is already dwindling to nothing.
Recommending a //gs to somebody else is really insane under these conditions.
I'm keeping this machine, but I'm moving onward soon, and I'm not going to
get stuck by Apple again.
