It is good news that CMD is even looking into selling things to us GS users.
I look forward to seeing the 20MHz part made available to GS users.  I hate
to say it, but Commodore users look like better customers than us Apple
users.  We seem to do nothing but complain.  Complain about everything.
We've complained so much that we lost our remaining accelerator while
CMD is making two different ones for the 64 and 128.  We complain about
the Second Sight, our only video card, and we complain about how things
are not worth it.  We even complain about software THAT'S FREE.

Just look at the mere discussion of the possibility of making a non-cache
accelerator for the GS.  Complain, complain, complain.  Nothing but
pessimism.  Are Commodore users smarter than us or what?

If CMD decides to sell products for us GS users, THIS GS user won't
complain.  Thank you for seeing a market here!
