Because "There isn't enough of a market".  I wish this wasn't true, but
companies just aren't making lots of money off of the GS (like they are
off of other platforms).  Sure, it would be _incredible_ with a TRez or
SecondSight and a ZipGSX, 4MB RAM, and a HD, but how many ppl who even
still use their GS have at least a HD, Zip Chip (Doom @2.8Mhz anyone? :)
and a SS/TR?

I hate being negative/realistic about my favorite computer. :(
