The GS is dificult to program, almost unsupported, outdated hardwa -> There's much more money in IBM compats.... Uh.. GS difficult to program? When is the last time you programmed the GS? If you compare it to similar programming on the Macintosh or IBM, I think you'll find that the GS is definitely not that hard. In fact, it's MUCH easier than the Macintosh. (Remember, if you're going to compare GS Desktop programming, you need to compare it to Windows programming or OS/2 programming on the IBM), otherwise you should just compare standard IBM programming to Prodos 8 development (which is child's play).
