Joe, I see one big thing missing from the list.  The IIgs finally has
a great new BASIC programming language to take the place of AppleSoft.
GSoft BASIC from the Byte Works was released at last year's Kansas
Fest and is now also available in a free version.  The commercial
version lets you write larger programs, though.

Also, Byte Works released the "Learn to Program in GSoft BASIC" book a
couple months ago and we are currently have a weekly question and
answer chat every Monday between 9 and 11 pm Eastern in the A2Pro
forum.  We just finished discussing lesson 4 on the 29th.

Check out http://www.delphi.com/a2pro for more information.
