You have not seen anything yet!  Although Mitchell and I
debate on many different issues here on csa2, we always
agree on one thing: 7Mhz/8Mhz makes the IIGS just usable.
Bump that up to 12.5Mhz to 15Mhz and the IIGS seems
FAST!  Thus, when you bump up the speed next year,
get ready for a SECOND dose of "wow, that's so much
faster and better."

Apple IIGS Forever!  Good luck.
