It seems to me that I've seen a lot of catalogs that have GS-specific
software.  For example Silicon Express has several columns of titles
that are for the GS.  I know of one for example that was especially
written for it ... 'Mean-18' by Accolade.  I've heard the sound on a
colleagues GS, and it sounded pretty good to me.

I'm sure there are others ... I'm getting into the Mac now and have not
been following the ][ much although I've had a ][+ since 1981 (using it
right now to write this ... tied to a mainframe UNIX via modem, of
course).  My APPLE lives on !!
