There are many things I can do on my other machines that I cannot do on the GS. There are precious few things I can do on the GS I cannot also do on the other machines. But you are right, *if you already own a GS* you can probably find software to satisfy basic needs (assuming you're not a full blown "power user"). I would hate to imagine something like Quark XPress running on a GS. It's much too slow for that (even with a TWGS, my Mac II FX is a little too slow for Quark XPress!). *** Randy Hyde
