Well I've seen alot of stuff fling across the NET about what we *USERS*
would've like to see on the //GS. I hope APPLE is listening!!! One the few 
things that is really dumb is they used the same old APPLESOFT!!! Damn couldn't
they have done soem mods on it so I can use the power of the //GS!! I dont want
to use the "&" forever.. I guess thats what "APPLE // FOREVER" means. On another
note the RGB is analog. We never had an RGB interface unless u bought a 3rd 
party card. They used mostly Digital RGB [IBM] output. I myself am going to try
and hook up my VR241... Hope it works as i could save the $475.00. I'm still
waiting to here from APPLE to see if it'll work. The dealer doesn't know so....
I hear the //GS can have up to 1.25mb fo ROM... Maybe we can add a new APPLESOFT
at a later date. Also rumor has it that the //GS drops down to 1.25mhz when you
do HIGH RES GRAPHICS... So not only do u have a bigger file but it slows down 
the CPU too. Atleast the video trace and memory refresh are seperated now..


Joe....

PS: When i changed the backround color of a //GS to PURPLE it messed up the
text in the CONTROL PANEL.... Whats Up APPLE....
