I just wanted to add my say to this topic. I have an Apple II+, IIe, and IIgs.
I bought the GS for the same reason everyone else did. For the G & S. I liked
the compatibility with the older software also. But I DIDN'T buy it so that I
could run IIe/IIc software forever. Where is all of the GS-specific software?
You can count the new GS software releases with 1 hand. Oh LOOK, they finally
came out with Shadowgate for the GS! Big deal! Almost every software release
comes out for the IBM & Mac's & Amigas before (and IF) it ever makes it to the
IIgs. I used to be able to get people to buy an Apple. Now, I honestly can't
recommend it. The only one I will recommend is the IIc+ or Laser if they want
something 'compatible' with the school's hardware. Otherwise I say buy an IBM
or Amiga. (Or an Amiga with IBM compatibility) People on the net have said,
'You're just a small group...Apple won't listen.' Well, I say that the average
person I know asks ME what kind of computer to buy BECAUSE I am knowledgable
about them. So, here I wait for Apple to do SOMETHING. I'm going to go to
AppleFest in May, and will decide based on the supposed 'announcement' on
what computer I will stick with. (And it will probably be the Amiga...let's
go as a group!)
