Hmm, I seem to remember someone posting that he just got sick and tired
of computers one day and ran off to the mountains or something like that.

I remember this too. Must be some roof. ^_^

Oh well. I was just curious, after all there isn't all that much hardware
development for the Apple II/GS platform so I thought I'd just chuck this
out here to instil some excitment.

Anyone still remember all that talk about the Duet card? Ah, vapourware!
What fantasies are made of. Still, it's fun to know what our machines are
capable of, though it maybe disapointing to see that the market doesn't
warrant such dreams to become reality.

Hmm, how about a PowerPC co-processor card for the GS? Now that would be
fun!
