Mereness") Newsgroups: comp.sys.apple Subject: Re:IIgs case redesign idea Message-ID: Date: 1 Sep 88 14:40:56 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 29 Adding a few inches to the case (four, in fact) would be a really nice idea in my opinion; not only because of a built in disk drive, which would be fabulous, esp. considering that just about every other computer from the Atari 1040ST to the PS/2's have built in drives... but also because presently the case is too small! How many times have we heard of problems with, for example, memory cards covering up slot 7? or Apple's damned fan covering up slots 1 and 2? (for that matter, I would like a few more slots; ports swallow them all these days!) I like the basic design of the GS case. I just think they made it a little small, and all I can think is that they wanted it to fit the monitor. Well, going out on a limb here, I wish the monitor was bigger. With the border color set to something other than black, the GS screen looks terribly small, and text very grainy. If I could add to the wish list, I would like to see a GS+ with new video ROMS to support a RGB monitor that more closely resembles the color monitor for the Mac //. Perhaps I have worked with too many Mac //s, but their screens are a joy to look at. Capt.
