The new Apple II compatible Mac might sound nice to all Apple //e and Apple //c
owners out there, but do take notice that the Apple II emulation card is an 
**Apple //e** emulation card.  So all those people who have investments in GS 
software might as well flush it down the toilet.

Of course, the logical argument would be that now that we have Macintosh 
compatibility, why bother with the GS since the new machine can do what the GS 
tried.  Well, there are some pretty nice games and applications out for the GS,
not to mention the sound capabilities, which the new machine will not be able 
to run/use.

All in all, it is a cheap cop-out by apple to bury the GS and move people to 
the Mac (no matter how many times MattD tells us that he builds machines to 
'empower' people).
