	I agree. I may not like a program, nor may I find any use for it,
	but I still smile at the fact that people are still out there coding
	on this little machine (and little it is).

	I'm glad people like you still exist; i'm getting sick of the II
	community itself. It's not like how it was 5 or 6 years ago. Too
	many children (heh, look who's speaking :-) )... too much garbage.
	"This sucks," "that's stupid: i've already seen it," "that's not-
	hing impressive," "how lame," and "useless."

: WOW!
: Tip: there *might* be other reasons why there are less programs.

	Of course. Other reasons: People seem to want money for IIGS
	programs & hardware. Bah. Yeah, i'm sure someone out there is
	saying sarcastically "OH NO! MONEY! WHAT A SIN! :-)" - but yes,
	to me, it is. There's no way you'll be able to make a living off
	of this machine today. Support what you can without throwing up
	limitations, such as $.

	Oh yes, then there's lack of interest... who wants a machine
	which can only do 16 colours per scanline? Who wants a machine
	which has a 64k DOCRAM limitation? Who wants a machine with a
	1MHz bus? I personally don't like the IIGS's limitations, but I
	still have it 'cuz I can't afford a PC, and, well, there's nothing
	even close to resembling DreamGrafix for the PC. :-)

	Ah. The main reason, IMHO (ding ding), is being flamed for what
	you write. I'm tired of hearing people say "THAT SUCKS!," "(xxx)
	is such a gimp for writing that...," or (most common) "What a
	useless piece of sh**" when something comes out for the GS. A
	real good example (sorry Auri) is PowerGS. You may not think it's
	useful, nor may you think it's decent, but it's something being
	developed for this out-of-date-and-dead machine. Be happy any-
	thing exists at all: Mainly, i'm glad PowerGS is free. :-)
	
	Just bringing out some valid points. Unlike Equinox, I won't put
	on an "asbestos suit," because there's no reason to hide from the
	flames of the ignorant.
