Isn't it okay to want to keep an Apple //gs but not give it flowery
reviews all the time?  I'm not about to sell my GS.  But I would never
recommend that someone else buy one.  I've already bought a PC and a
Mac (and several other machines, for that matter).  I have the luxury
few can afford of being able to pick the best machine for the job.
Alas, the GS sits around unused for several long spells.  So many
other machines do the job at hand much better.  If you go back and
read most of the "Anit-GS" messages appearing here, you'll find that
most of them do not recommend that everyone unload these white elephants.
Instead, they ask why would anyone buy one today?  The only person I
could seriously suggest to buy a GS is a long-time Apple II user who
has a lot of experience with the machine.  Other alternatives are
cheaper and/or better for the new user.

The Apple II had its day.  Let it die in glory, supported by those who
love the machine rather than trying to force it on to those who will
only hate it.
