I'm not much for the Mac, either, and MS-DOS is not an appealing operating
system. I prefer UNIX boxes. And I'm afraid finances dictate my use of
the GS (it was free, and I have no money.)

Hey! What do you think I use it for? Certainly not its computational power.

If you had bothered to read anything I'd written, rather than just seeing
"I'm not fond of my Apple IIGS" and started frothing at the mouth, you
would have noticed I was pointing out certain misconceptions about the
GS's use as a multitasking machine - namely, it ain't gonna happen. If
you'd please shut your trap for a moment, and think before posting your
rabid nonsense, you'd maybe learn something. But I won't count on it.

Then you should have mailed me privately. But of course, you're not sorry.
