The AppleColor RGB monitor is prone to failure.  Mine is dead.

If you have a Second Sight card, you can use any VGA, SVGA,
or Macintosh monitor!  ;-)

If you can't find the Second Sight, then you can use either
an Amiga or Atari ST monitor or a multisync monitor capable
of syncing down to 15Khz.  OR, you can find a technician
to modify a VGA monitor to sync at 15Khz rather than 30Khz.

GUI Lynx type browser like application for the IIGS!

GS+ Magazine is dead.  May they RIP.  I sure miss it.
I'm sure if GS+ Magazine were still going strong, Steve
Disbrow, Josef Wankerl, or any GS+ reader would
have written an email program for the IIGS TCP/IP
by now.
