    OK, I had to ask this.  JUST WHAT THE HECK CAN ANYONE DO WITH 8
MEGABYTES OF ROM?!? Didn't Apple have any pragmatism when it designed the
Apple IIGS? I mean, wouldn't 12 Megs of RAM and 4 Megs of ROM have been a
better allocation of system memory? AppleWorks GS doesn't even consume 4
Megs, so that could be put in the ROM, and Apple would have one killer
machine.  Could you imagine AppleWorks GS in ROM? Oh, no.  It might sell
then.
