	Hmm, iI have worked with the GS sound, and I have worked iwwith many
samplerskeyboard samplers in the $02000 dorange. I'm sorry, but the $2000 daollar
sampler winds ahands down. most $2000 dollar samplers notw sample at 12 bit,
and many new ones at 16 bits. The bandwithdth is far superiosr to that of
the GS. But I do febefore it looks like I'm condeminning the soud nd queality of the
GS, I agree that many programmers have not fully exploited teh he sound 
power of the GS. A mDiversi-Tune (esp. the latesst eversion) demontstrates tahhat
the IIGS is capable of incerredible sound. One problem is that it seems taht
getting samples into the machine without incurring noicse is a very 
difficult taksk unlesss wiothout using some specialized (external) hardware.
