Better start believing it. My GS was bought in Aug 1987 and is still the 
only computer I own. The only 8 bit programs that I use are ProTerm (I 
own Spectrum, but have been too lazy to learn how to use it), the 
Playroom, and The Treehouse. I own approximately 500 programs, so that 
makes it less than 1 percent. I know several (more than 2!) others that 
only have a GS or maybe a GS and an older Apple II. I think you would be 
very suprised at how many of us there are.
