I don't see the point of this discussion.  We are Apple II here and proud.
What's all this about splitting up and elitism?  The Apple II, IMHO, is not
what hardware it is but the idea it embodies.  The IIGS might be slightly
technologically better, but doesn't reduce what other Apple II's can do.
After all, we are the people who always do what can't be done no what what
we have.  That's what Apple II Forever means to me.
