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

[Dain Neater <dneater@inebraska.com>]

Finding CPU's, and monitors and drives is one thing.  Try finding the things
that truely make the GS an incredible machine.  Transwarps, ZipGS's, SCSI
cards, and Ram boards.

This stuff isn't easy to find.  Even things such as the Focus Hard drive's
will be gone soon.  I am not speaking for Alltech, but I don't see them
producing these things forever.

I will use my Apple IIgs until it croaks, but I won't be paying outrageous
prices for stuff.  If I can replace it fine, but if I have to sell my first
born to do it.  I still have Bernie, and Sweet 16, and Kegs.

Thanks guys for your hard work.
