What?  You must have not read my original reply, or Toby R.'s
followup.  They were very informative.

There is no need to bring up "Mac hater" here.

What Gina is refering to is the flame war that's erupted because I
referred her to Joe Kohn to look for System 6.0.1 for the GS and
he apparently does not have a license to distribute it to non-members.
Nate flamed me for this, but he didn't flame any Mac user.

I'm not going to be dragged into this for long, so as soon as I get
the web address to the Byte Works, I'm going to revise my form letters
that have proved useful to new IIgs users (by their own replies).
