HOLD IT, HOLD IT, hold it, hold it!!!  The Apple IIGS is barely compatible
with _itself_, and you expect to get a shred of compatibility from a 
backwards-engineered renegade machine?

Well, ok, maybe you could get more compatibility if you didn't use System
5.0.3, but I don't think it's worth the bother.

Apple II Forever!*


*forever to be defined at next Apple // unveiling
