Yea, right.  First off, my IIgs DOES outperform macs.  Not only do I have
a superior OS, I also have a COLOR hypercard, and beter STEREO sound than
any mac.  Next, my IIgs runs ][ software, and it didn't cost me thousands
to have that ability.  If you think my IIgs is slow, then I can tell you that
I do in fact have an accelerator that plugs into one of my SLOTS, and since
it is an apple and not an atari, I can get documentation for it so that I can
program it (hey, neet idea, huh?  someone writing programs rather than
complaining about the software that doesn't exist!).  Apple CAN make a GS
MUCH better than a mac, and it wouldn't cost them like you think it would.
If you knew more about the IIgs, it's architecture and apple's in general,
you would realize this.  Go ahead.  Tell ME that I am wrong.
