New Apple IIGS owner, up and running!



About two weeks ago I posted here asking for help and guidance. As of
last night, thanks to the help and guidance that you guys provided, I
hooked up my null modem cable, ran ADT, bootstrapped my IIGS, and
began writing disk images. Thank you *very much* for helping get this
newbie started.

I have to say, bootstrapping and transferring disk images feels almost
magical. And it's amazing to be able to do something with my IIGS
other than writing BASIC programs.

Now that I'm up and running, do you guys have any recommendations for
what I can do to really savor the experience and take advantage of the
power of the IIGS? I have a ROM 1 machine with 512K of RAM, which is a
bit disappointing. So far I've been poking around System 4 a bit and
have played a few older Apple II games, in those cases where I could
figure out the commands. Next up for tonight will be messing around
with Claris Works GS and trying to get a few GS games to run, if they
will with my meager amount of RAM.

Thanks again for helping get me on my feet. So far jumping back into
Apple IIs has been even more rewarding than I expected.

Cheers,
Chris Hafner
