Okay, if anyone wants to really save the GS in a college/university
environment, develop a version of NetTrek that runs on the GS.  I
remember a couple of years ago the Mac version almost shut down the
net resources at U. of Michigan.  Laser printing slowed to a halt.
Couldn't find a free packet if you tried.
 
That's the real way to save the machine.  Inter-architecture computer
games.
