  Well, if you don't like the Mac, go on net.micro.mac and say so. It is
 only the most powerful micro on the market. And if you don't like the
 //GS, find someone who is selling their //e to get the //gs. No one is
 forcing you to use the computer you don't like.
  I haven't been able to lay my hands on the //GS, but from what I've seen,
 it is a color alternative for someone that wants a user-friendly machine.
 And, places like schools that can't afford to replace all their // series
 software can expand to the color and sound quality theat the //GS offers.
  I don't think you need a 3.5 inch drive to expand a //e to the //GS level,
 just the memory expansion and the mouse. This is an expense, but not as
 much as the total //GS cost.
  I think Apple has made a great move in maintaining the // series, and the
 //GS is just another step in the ongoing process. Now, if my roommate can
 afford the expansion....a //GS would complement my Mac Plus nicely.

 Oh, by the way, I love the Mac, as it is much more powerful than most other
 micros, and the graphics you seem to detest I think help the ease of use.
 However, everyone is entitled to their own opinion...
