If I didn't have one, I wouldn't still be using the IIGS.  With the TWGS,
I didn't have to get a PC until the 1990s.  After I got my PC, I changed
the CPU and the oscillator on my TWGS so that it runs at 12.5Mhz.
Now a standard TWGS seems slow to me and my IIGS when running
AWGS or the GS/OS operating system responds as quickly as my
Windows 95 system does in terms of UI and program response.

That's why I continue to use my IIGS as a word processor and a
page layout machine as a second computer.  Without my TWGS, I
do not think this would be possible.
