THIS was my recollection as well.  Without figures in front of me it seems the
//gs was never a very popular machine.  It never outsold the //e and most of
the computers were bought by schools to be faster //e's.  There were never used
for anything but 8 bit programs.

The //gs was adopted by fanatics (enthusiasts) like us as their favorite
machine and those people moved to the gui interface.

But many //gs's never got hard drives.  They were booted from floppies just 
like a //e.

Now the ones that have been salvaged from school dumpsters and old warehouses
are being sooped up with hard drives and such.  But originally this was too
expensive.
