I suppose, if you can stand to have the 5.25" drive hooked up (I can't, and
yes, I do disable the drive...it just takes up too much space on my desk), and
the only reason you use your GS is to boot ProTerm...but then why not get a IIc
or something?  How 'bout just a terminal?  I'd say a vt100, but Unknown can't
understand why a person would use one, so I'll just say terminal in general.

P.S.  A terminal is about all I use my GS for these days as well, but I like
the desktop environment enough to go through it to get to Kermit v3.87
(with a fast SCSI drive, 4M, and DMA SCSI, and TWGS it's not so bad).
