Let's see.. there is a new TCP package for the IIgs, and a telnet
program. Other programs are being written for the net. Spectrum/SIS will
let you do web browsing. Accelerators are still being sold. There is
widespread interest (in the A2 community) about adding SCSI CD ROMS and
removable HDs to IIs of all kinds. And the Second Sight card is gaining
support. The II world doesnt seem dead to me. In fact. Im paricularly
interested in the new software so I can do net things on teh GS while Im
doing W95 stuff on the Mac.
