	This is more dribble from people's wish fantasies.. It will never 
happen. Read it over, that is a lot of stuff for the price (especially
considering the RAM chip prices these days.)  I believe this is the one that
included the 65832 chip? that isn't to be in final production until 1990 or
so. (or at least 1989 very late).. Actually this was one of the better ones,
I've seen worse tech stuff, as they usually all fail, one way or another,
as supporting weird hardware that Apple would never do, or including 8M or so
for less than $1500, (come on the chips cost at least that)..

	Also someone said lets get back to old Apple prices... In Winter of
1981, an Apple II+ with 48k and one 5.25" disk drive went for the cheap 
price of $2,800. Compare that with the price of the GS, and what you get with
the ii+ at the time..
	Do you really want to go back to that price??
