Re: So, what do you think? real IIgs or emulated IIgs?



	Well, all I need now is a RAMFast board and a Transwarp / ZipGS.  I
realize those are the hardest things to come by.  But in a way -- it's
sort of "fun" to stay on the lookout for these things...to use the GS in
its current state while waiting for these upgrades.  Fun upgrading it in
steps.  Just hooked up with a set of Cambridge "PC Works" speakers to
the machine (and my stereo card hasn't even gotten here yet):

	...so fine.  But you're right--if it was impossible to find anything
else for the GS, then the emulators' existence would ease my worries, so
to speak.  I think we'll be able to find this or that, even if it takes
some time, for a good little while tho (if no longer "new", from Alltec
or Sequential).  

	Anyway.  My $.02.
