Thanks, thats about what I had in mind. It won't be like I have just one
poor old IIgs to keep me happy, more like half a dozen different models,
some fully netted, some with null modem connections, others stand alone
for the really pesky copy protection schemes. About the only place I
really draw the line is with cassette input, but that does have some
curious possibilites (sending programs as sound files).
