    C'mon, I'm all for proving the GS is leaps and bounds beyond the Mac LC,
but saying the GS can display 3200 colours and the LC can display 256 is a bit
misleading.  3200-mode is of very limited use on the GS.  I would much rather
have the LC's 640x480x256-colour mode than 3200-colour graphics.

    You need to buy hardware to obtain MS-DOS compatibility however.  You can
use SoftPC on a Mac to emulate an IBM without additional hardware.  I think
you get EGA graphics to boot.
