I know I replied to this once, but I guess it got lost in transit.

I prefer programming on 8 bit systems. I have more references
for them. If I run across a good deal on GS references I might
do more programming on that platform.

A while back I tried the free Gsoft. I was under the impression
it was more limited in memory usage.

Actually, my programming requirements are strictly hobby. I have
released a few programs, but I do this for fun. I am reconsidering
my interests and may be able to invest some money in the products
you offer soon.
