Let's examine this for a second... I've decided to take a whole new tact 
with these ASSumptions floating around here, so here goes :)

Q: WHAT WILL KILL THE APPLE IIGS?

A: Any of the following:
    - A 12 gauge shotgun blast 3" to the right of the logo from 4-8 feet.
    - Falling 35,000 feet from a TWA 747 over Greenland.
    - 350 degrees for 2 hours in a convection oven.
    - Mt. St.Helens on a bad day.
    - Being left in the center lane of the Dan Ryan expressway in Chicago
      between 3 and 7 pm on a weeknight.
    - Submersion off the Florida Keys for 3 months.

You know, we could all probably add to this list... a sort of impromptu
safety guide for the care and feeding of the GS... That could be fun and
although not productive, it could distract all these doom and gloom junkies
so the rest of us could spend more time getting things done on/for the GS
and less time basking nay-sayers heads against their respective news feeds.

I for one am going to go out of my way to make sure that none of these
horrible things happen to my GS.  Mine won't be dead by '93 (or '94 either :)
