If the machine is so lousy, then what the hell are you doing using it?
Also, why are you polluting this newsgroup with your "Apple IIs suck"
drivel?  I've only seen two of your posts and already I get the
feeling you're the Mac or MeSsy-DOS invader who's trying to put down
everyone's choice of machine.  Nobody is forcing you to use your GS.
If you don't like it, then use it only as a terminal to access your
mainframe.  (Better yet, send it to me; I can appreciate the machine
for what it is. :-) )  I'm not trying to sound defensive, but if you
have nothing positive to add to this newsgroup, I'd suggest that you
just shut the fuck up.
