Not to start a flame war... but, face reality man.
I worked over nine years with a IIGS exclusively. Then the TransWarp
died and circumstances asked for a PowerBook. First I bought a PowerBook
150 then a PowerBook 190cs. Everything can be done on a Mac faster and
easier than on a 2.8 MHz IIGS, sorry, but so it is.
My PowerBook 190 even outruns the Windows NT box with a 133 MHz Pentium
in the office.
So stop telling lies, please.
