In that case everyone should write for PC's. In fact you target products at
suitable markets. The very fact that GS users have settled for IIe sw is
simply due to them not being selective...What can I say, I feel the GS has and
is being hurt by its II connection. For the most part there is absolutely
nothing redeeming about Apple IIe and below software. Moreover, I simply 
don't agree with those who claim children can't tell the difference when it
comes to colours, sound, etc...The only reason the Apple IIe and below is
still around is because of a lack of funds for schools. The moment that changes
is the moment they will be thrown out. 
 
I am entitled to hold an opinion regarding GS owners wanting GS sw. For the
most part the rest is junk.
