Re: Super GS

If this were to be more than a pipe dream, there would need to be a
market large enough to pay for a tool up of making boards, and for an
improved version of GS/OS. I doubt that this could be done without two
things happening: 1) Apple releasing or leasing their
copyrights/patents; 2) A pricing plan that would allow poor schools who
wish to be Internet ready but can't afford new Macs/PCs but could afford
to pay to upgrade //e or //gs to this higher level

Which brings me to another thought that has been rolling around in my
mind ever since I saw the Clairmont HS Room 110 project. There are many
inner city and deep rural schools with few if any computers. Then there
are more affluent schools with Apple ][s in their warehouses or heading
for landfills. I'm planning to contact my state's dept. of education and
see if something can be done about recycling these machines and their
software from richer to poorer schools. Perhaps if some of the rest of
us did that, there not only would be more machines in use, but there
might also be a small niche market to sell to.
