I see some questions on the TWGS, like "is it shipping" and "does it work"?

I'm sitting here looking at the little green LED on mine flashing merrily
away.  Yes, they're shipping!

Do they work?  I've run a few programs with it, such as AppleWorks (Old,
classic, or whatever), AppleWriter, Talk Is Cheap, some of the ProSel
utilities, ECP 8 and 16, and a few others.  No problems besides me not being
ready for the speed.

I have found only one problem, and I'm not sure it's the TransWarp or my
hardware/software setup, but I've spoken to AE about it and they're working
with me on it, so I'm confident that if there's a problem fixable by AE, it'll
get fixed.  I'll pass on commenting on that one until I know a little more
about what's happening, but right now I doubt that it would affect many GS
users at all.  I guarantee if it's a TransWarp problem, I'll let you all know
about it.

The only complaint I have about it is that the startup sound is horrible. 
However, you do have the option of turning it off.  I only had to listen to it
once (which was enough!).

If you want reports on how the neat graphics-based programs work, I can't help
you, but the speed increase is enough that it looks like they may become
nearly useable!
