Well, duh...of course anything new for the GS is a big deal. But we are 
talking table scraps man.....the second sight card is a good example, for 
$200 (more than you can buy a whole GS for) you get the priveledge of 
almost decent graphics. Wooo! That is standard equipment on a crappy 386.
Hello, this is 1995....the Apple ][ was a neat idea ten years ago, it is 
a toy today. Why waste your money on a toy? It's like going out and 
buying a Dolby noise option for your 8-track tape player, or being 
thrilled that some album that came out five years ago finally got ported 
to 8-track. Get with the times already, you are missing out on a lot of 
cool shit. Try Dark Forces, Descent, or Mechwarrior ][, then honestly 
tell me if you could care less if Apple ever gets Wolf 3D.....
