	Well, I disagree with this again... Maybe I'm confusing what some
other company with what I thought Sierra said, but I don't think so.

	I think that Sierra has said that they will make more GS software
when a speed-upgraded GS comes out.  I realize that is the "right" thing
to say... What I mean is that you don't want to say that you won't write
for it, you say that if a faster one comes out you'll write for it..
Since it seems a speed-upgraded (out of the box) GS seems very very unlikely,
the point's moot.

	I still think that Brian Greenestone or one of you other GS whizzes
should try to get a contract with Sierra to improve/rewrite their adventure
game "compiler"...  If I were currently a GS author, I would at least make the
attempt if I were looking for a job. Another attempt would be to get a job
at Origin writing Ultima V GS or Ultima VI GS or //e.
